Reign of Kindo: Holy shit

[Morgan C]

This may not appeal to everyone here, but I have to post because it is easily the best band I've discovered in the last few years.

I despise jazz, but the way they blend it with pop is just amazing. And the production is flawless as well. One of the ONLY recordings where I feel that I'm in the drum room, not listening to some hyped, artificial recording. The piano has ridiculous detail. The perfect blend of analogue and digital.

There's not a single weak song on the album.

they're awesome. check out their 'studio log' videos on you tube.

and the drummer is lauchin' a new project.

Sounds pretty interesting. Sort of like what so many indie bands try only these dudes understand rhythm and theory and how to tune a guitar.

 

[crillemannen]

It was nice, smooth

 

[James Murphy]

It's cool.

I also noticed that they played TGI Friday's on the 19th. That's gay, because they're really good!

I discovered them recently aswell. They are just simply amazing, I've had the album playing in my ipod non-stop!

 

[Russtopher]

I am in love.

I can't say how many albums I've purchased thanks to this forum... and you can add this one to the list!

 

[RemoWilliams]

At times reminds me of Cave In circa "Jupiter" and Antenna". Good stuff.

They are an amazing band. Found out about them a while back through a friend. They are great musicians and really great guys from what I hear. I listened to their last album so much and ot everyone in my band hooked on their music. lol.

edit: how can you not hear the jazz influence in "needle and thread"?

 

[Eduardo Apolonia]

Sweet

 

[James-Doolan]

[16S]

[Nitsuj]

Sounds very fresh to me. good stuff. Especially the usage of atonal passages in prog pop jazz context.

 

[BrettT]

Great stuff. Thanks!

 

[Skinny Viking]

I think I'll have to pick this up
