We're rocking now with Seattle's Kinski on Sub Pop. Its called 'Down Below It's Chaos' and is opened with a distorted guitar rock song. As the album develops we're into instrumental songs with the odd vocal splashed in to create a Sonic Youth style groove. Its kind of stoner rock with an occasional trance like feel to it. He's never off his distortion pedal though and personally too much fuzz makes my hair fall out .However You might like the bald look so carry on.

Kinski is a four-piece rock band from Seattle, WA. Their unique evocation of avant-rock is deconstructionist and heady, but also emotive and
visceral. NME described Kinski as: "Like Sabbath in a washing machine during a power surge." Comprised of guitarists Chris Martin and Matthew
Reid-Schwartz (Matthew also plays keyboards and flute), bassist Lucy Atkinson, and drummer Barrett Wilke, Kinski have toured with Mission of
Burma, Comets on Fire, Oneida, Mono, Acid Mothers Temple, Black Mountain, and most recently opened a month of dates for Tool on their spring '07
tour. Produced and recorded by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O))), Boris) at his Aleph Studio in Seattle, Down Below It's Chaos is Kinski's 3rd full-length
for Sub Pop. With the notable inclusion of 3 songs with subdued yet urgent vocals courtesy of Chris Martin, the new record is a kaleidoscopic mix of
Kinski's expansive, over-driven power and intricate beauty. With majestically fuzzed-out guitar tones, spare and pounding rhythms, and swirling sonic
textures, Down Below It's Chaos sums up Kinski's past and propels them into the ozone. What's left of it, that is.
