Curious blend of genres and cathartic creations, that Kairos Creature Club promises through their self-titled album, or KCC. Review.
KCC – KAIROS CREATURE CLUB
First, between Love Song, and its classic folk acoustic start, and Doom Funk, turning experimental and that ought to be discovered with headphones, there’s a lot of it. A warm caress followed by a labyrinth of colours and shades, that’s how the album opens. Later, some orchestral strings and round guitars illuminate the labyrinth on Strangers. It’s my favourite here, by far! Following up is the instrumental Space Sand, playing with space and still keeping up a shard of sunshine in its core. Then, another kind of contrast, with the sombre, experimental and raw Self Portrait, presenting a well-thought-out change of main vocals too!
After that cathartic breath comes up the softer Exile. Lena Simon and Glenn Michael Van Dyke, the duet behind the project, are playing – as they do – with genres. Psyche rock is injected with huge doses of desert rock and folk, sliding onto pop and electro with Deleuzean and, in a different way, on Good Company. The blend is irresistible and makes me curious to get under each layer, line, riff and note coming from bass, keys and guitars. Fascinating, DATADADATADADATA shows the chill and catchy potential the band has before closing with the instrumental UK Club, a pretty intriguing one. Because that’s KCC for you, where Kairos Creature Club is massively intriguing. And to satisfy my curiosity, I’ll have to spin it a couple more times!
