Even a cursory scroll through Sans Froid’s influences will make you expect chaos. In interviews, members of the west country rockers have acknowledged Radiohead, the Mars Volta, the immersive folk of Linda Perhacs and even the haywire opera/metal/breakbeat of French button-pusher Igorrr. Combine that array with the four-piece’s sole collective inspiration – San Franciscan indie experimentalists Deerhoof – and it’s amazing there’s any coherence at all.
