Dirty Sound Magnet

On April 26, 2026 at L'Ubu in Rennes, Dirty Sound Magnet delivered a set of just over two hours centered on their progressive-leaning psychedelic rock. The Swiss trio blends a 1970s legacy with touches of blues and hard rock and a contemporary approach that favors long buildups, rhythmic ruptures and open instrumental passages for improvisation. On stage, the guitar slices acidic lines, the rhythm section pushes and releases, and tension is built in stages until it slips into hypnotic soundscapes.

From "Western Lies" to "DSM-III," the songs oscillate between straightforward choruses and digressions that prolong the studio energy. The live element is at the heart of their work: a deeply felt presence, precise collective playing, and constant movement between heavy grooves, psych surges and suspended moments. Lyrics with a poetic reach, wave-like dynamics and a taste for risk shape a fluid, unpredictable show designed to carry the audience along without losing the thread.
