It's Time.. by King Midas Sound

The duo’s first release since 2019’s jaw dropping ‘Solitude’ on Cosmo Rhythmatic, King Midas Sound return for an EP overflowing with dramatic tension and sonic turbulence. An eerie amalgamation of magic realism and haunting heavyweight audio, K.M.S. map out a hallucinatory zone where drones + riffs are memorably filtered into dream states for suspended animation addicts. Slow and low, blurred and delirious, the spectral tracks pass like disturbed fever dreams, as the pain of blind prejudice is surgically dissected by a gifted poet.
Lyrically, Roger Robinson celebrates his recent capture of the prestigious TS Eliot poetry award, with his most militantly direct prose yet for KMS. Balancing surrealism and horror in a master craftsman’s head and hand, the poems herein could well have been addendums to his incredible ‘Portable Paradise’ collection..……Whilst sub freq specialist The Bug, aka Kevin Martin, comes off the back of his recent 5 part solo lockdown series of recordings, ‘Frequencies for Leaving Earth’, with further magnetic probes into beatless, infinite, deep space.
If Don Cherry’s ‘Brown Rice’ was fused with Sunn 0))), it may resemble the goosebump inducing slo-mo dirge of ‘Gold’. Whilst alternately, ‘Hung’ sounds like Eliane Radigue’s minimalist tone theories, narrated by the ghosts of ‘Strange Fruit’…
Beauty is to be found compellingly, throughout the molten ambience of this mesmeric e.p.. Captivating it is…highly original too…Dive in…
