About the Band

SELFKILL

Forming in 2004 amidst a rise in post-rock sounds, SELFKILL appeared on the Lobo Vol. 2 Taiwan indie compilation. They continued to record and released their first album in 2006 while collaborating on a cinematic music video 媽媽我考試考100分 using metaphoric imagery for life in Taipei. Indeed much of SELFKILL's style is darkly cinematic and esoteric in its interpretation.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

SELFKILL's debut album marks the next progression in Taiwan's post-punk scene with younger musicians delving deeper into darker, more cinematic territory. The song "媽媽 我考試考100分" was used as the soundtrack for an evocative and violent music video depicting daily life issues of depression and helplessness. Undoubtedly, SELFKILL are influenced by internationally renowned artists like MOGWAI and SIGUR RIOS, but also capture a local Taiwanese vibe similar to their predecessors, NIPPLES and SUGAR PLUM FERRY.
