BOOKING OFFER: KEN CAMDEN Dear all, Im booking some dates for KEN CAMDEN. KEN CAMDEN (USA) youtube/watch?v=REVQdCNP080 youtube/watch?v=MjapQVU4d74 Availability: To be announced (2014) Territory: Europe KEN CAMDEN New album from Chicagos Ken Camden, moonlighting from his day job in post-rock astronomers Implodes. This is in fact his third solo album to date, and his second for Kranky following 2010s Deft, diverting Lethargy & Repercussions; and it takes us further from Camdens shoegazing roots into the realm of pure cosmic electronics. The zero-gravity synth terraforming of curtain-raiser Spectacle puts us in mind of Emeralds man Steve Hauschildts solo sides, while the magnificent Eta Carinae combines the sound palette of Dieter Moebiuss Tonspuren with a haunting, almost medievalist folk approach to melody. Camdens heavily treated guitar comes to the fore in Moon, a forlorn, exquisitely minimal space blues thats equal parts Pink Floyd and Popol Vuh, before Trapezium steers us back into dainty, soft-hued Z-Arts psychedelia; Antares and Dominic Sunset nod to the eerie, expansive drones of Oneohtrixs Rifts material, and the carefully articulated isolationism of Artemievs scores for Tarkovsky, distant vocal harmonies amplifying the acute sense of existential drift and nostalgia for a world you cant remember, and may not ever have existed. This record is a genre-piece, make no mistake, but a lovingly and confidently rendered one. Thanks for reading. I hope to hear from you very soon. Regards.
