Jamming out with King Khan and the Shrines
Long have we adored KK and the Shrines, and we’ve been excited since they first announced their upcoming for Merge Records. On the latest single, there’s definitely a bit of restraint, at least for my ears. The song holds back from the typical garage rock pummeling, using an effects pedal to sort of provide a tripped out stomp; I like the clarity of the vocals throughout as well, which is a touch of a change. They’re titling the album Idle No More, and it will hit streets on September 3rd. The release will also see a world-wide tour, though, sadly, there’s no scheduled Austin date.

It is “Idle No More”… taken from a protest movement in Canada. Red feathers, people!
