CHEF, by Kungens Män

CHEF

by Kungens Män

supported by

David Yvinec From the first few notes up until the end, this album is full of trance inducing acid jam. Who need hallucinogenic drugs to reset his or her mind, when the music itself is the psychoactive agent? Just by listening to it, you will be transported to places you would have not even dreamt of. But isn't it what psychedelic rock is all about? In this album, Kungens Män offers the best psychedelic rock experience one can imagine. Enjoy! Favorite track: Fyrkantig böjelse.

about

Kungens Män from Stockholm, Sweden have been around as a musical unit since 2012. The roots as friends go way back though. Noises, impulses, fuck ups and improvised jams have been recorded since day one and some of them have been put out on record. This is the first one on Riot Season Records.

While the latest album Fuzz på svenska on Adansonia Records was somewhat jazzy and pretty introverted, this new one CHEF is more rock and to the point, but still in the exploring, heady way typical of Kungens Män. Oh, CHEF doesn’t have anything to do with cooking - it means boss or chief.

The inspiration comes from the drone, the rattle of the loose screw, the circuit failure of the effects, the phatness of the moog and from the very diverse wiring of a bunch of middle aged Swedish freaks. Kungens Män never plan the next musical move - it presents itself. Sometimes the costume sewn is really ugly, but somehow there’s always room for the sublime as you turn it inside out.

CHEF is the most effective Kungens Män album yet. Four pieces, one LP. Four different moods, the Kungens Män sound distilled. Dive in, walk around, start over again. It never stops.
