FATES - MURKY CIRCUITS
OUT NOW!
PRESS REACTIONS
"Nebulous post-industrial soundscapes constantly tweaked and realigned to create one of the most original electronic records of the year to date. 4.5/5" - THE MILK FACTORY
"Literally one in a million; tweaking and meshing uncommon sounds to create one of the most original electronic pieces I have heard all year. Abstract art for the ears most certainly." - AW MUSIC
"A post-glitch triumph that goes by quickly but not without making one’s head spin." - CYCLIC DEFROST
"Murky Circuits sounds like a highly caffeinated robot took over a decrepit Radio Shack and had its way with anything it could grab." - CHUBBY JONES
"Dizzying and compelling." - BRAINWASHED
“These dudes are good, and they know it.” – Pitchfork.com
“Rocked like a European White Stripes with less vagina.”- Impose magazine
Lo-fi continues to blow up, from Chillwave hotties Neon Indian and Teengirl Fantasy, or, on the Garage Rock side, Thee Oh Sees, Vivian Girls and often-controversial Wavves. At the lead of this sound is the wild, recently-arrested*, garage pair of King Khan & BBQ Show. Khan, who rocked the Coachella 2010 festival, was called by Pitchfork “a stupendously stylish vocalist, able to ape everybody from the Big Bopper to Otis Redding without losing a move”, honorific references of the band’s unique blend of 1960's Doo-Wop with Garage punk. A sound forged when the KK & BBQ Show met up in Germany, and started playing in an old Nazi Bunker beneath the abandoned factory Khan lived in. KK & BBQ are embarking on a tour of Asia that will crash through Daegu, Busan and Seoul in the midst of several other nations.
*King Khan & BBQ Show missed a few shows when they were arrested for allegedly possessing psychedelic drugs and their manager was driving without a license.
