There are quiet moments here and there but you get the feeling they're only there so the drummer can catch his breath. 7 (or 8) finds Kinski sounding heavier, faster, and even more self-assured, picking up where 2013's Cosy Moments left off but also pushing their sound into even more singular territory. 7 (or 8), the title itself a wry observation echoing the confusion created by their extensive catalogue, is in fact their seventh (or eighth depending who you ask) LP and second for new label home Kill Rock Stars, having previously released several LPs on Sub Pop and other discerning independent labels. Recorded and mixed in San Francisco at El Studio with Phil Manley (of Trans Am), 7 (or 8) comes in the midst of a more prolific period for the band. \"It always takes us awhile to write a record but this one came quickly.

They continue to push forward, seeking out new ways to blow your mind. Their new record, Accustomed to Your Face, sounds as free and daring as their early forays, but with the luster of confidence that comes with two decades of playing together. \u003ci\u003eAccustomed to Your Face\u003c\/i\u003e reflects that multi-faceted approach.

Weaving it all together is Kinski's consistent command of their craft. The rhythm section is dialed in and the interplay between the guitars continues to be more than the sum of their parts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith deep roots in krautrock and South American rock of the 60's and 70's, Kinski has always been a proponent of like-minded groups from around the world, and have brought many bands to the U.S. including Acid Mothers Temple (Japan) and Träd, Gräs Och Stenar (Sweden). Similarly, their collaborations with artists such as the dance duo robbinschilds and installation artist Jim Hobbs have been fruitful, allowing them to further delve into regions of sound, working from different perspectives while connecting with new audiences that may have otherwise remained unaware of their work. Over the years, critics have tried to pin Kinski down to certain genres (the Psych-Rock-Post-Rock-Metal patchwork flag has been planted) but Kinski defy easy categorization, fluctuating between fast, driving rawk, and sweet, lilting melodies…they will melt your brain with their supersonic shredding, but they will give you a hug before you go home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - With Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kill Rock Stars","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471782678859,"sku":"1047053","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50471784120651,"sku":"1047052","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/563e9080-3328-40f3-a29d-6214f9a1a0f5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727411672"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_fbc5fe06_thumbnail_4096_2d72a9bf-924e-492d-b99d-78b5d7751936.jpg?v=1726950853","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/kinski.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
