Prague’s Kien are back with a new EP, V sevření chaosu a snění, released in late October via Urban Lurk. Four tracks sit somewhere between punk and post-punk, bringing together a dark atmosphere, a prominent bassline, and female vocals that add another dimension to the record and make it instantly memorable.
Kien aren’t the kind of band you put on just as background music while having a few beers in the evening. Their sound has a melancholic feel, but there’s also tension and urgency running through it. The bass gets plenty of room to breathe, the vocals dig straight into your brain, and the lyrics aren’t just empty filler. They have substance, imagery, and emotions worth coming back to.
V sevření chaosu a snění is exactly the kind of record that might hit the spot if you’re into punk with a darker edge and an atmosphere that stays with you long after the final note fades away.
Four tracks that are definitely worth your time. Give Kien a chance and let yourself get drawn into their world.
