Kinski

Be Gentle With The Warm Turtle is the second studio recording by the Seattle quartet Kinski. Kinski's song structure, dynamics, delivery, and sheer volume of sound are stunning. They confidently occupy a space between Sonic Youth, Slint, Mogwai and Yo La Tengo. Available for the first time on vinyl as a double LP with 2 bonus tracks previously only available on compilations, their debut full length release ranks as a quite an achievement, succeeding where others in the often tiresome world of instrumental rock have failed.

Cosy Moments, the group's sixth full length, is filled with Kinski's dense, intricate and occasionally nearly deafening noise, a musical style that is almost completely contradictory to their album title.

Kinski: Stumbledown Terrace [Vinyl LP]

As they near their 20th year as a band, Kinski show no signs of slowing down. 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. 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.
