TWINKRANES - BEING KONG

Technicolor flashes. Disturbing thoughts. Motorik with mushrooms. twiNkranes. Propuslive. Pulsive. Kraut-rock. Psychedelia. Vintage electronics. Experimentation. Primal Beats. Can and Faust. Plateau. Being Kong. It's a Krane thing.


TWINKRANES released Being Kong as their second single this week, which will undoubtedly be playlisted in every conceivable outlet with good taste in music here, and many others besides, as was their more kraut-rock oriented cocktail Plateau from last year. What you get for your money this time around is a propulsive beat infused pulsation, a relentless four minute journey through the warped-up world of Krane. Contrare to insinuating these guys take LSD, I'd actually say they simply don't need to. The world of Krane is strange enough already. Not to be overlooked, the flipside Witch Hunt gives Kong good run for its money. Another four minutes, more tranced than Kong, it is just as propulsive, but more varied, from the twisted dreaminess of 'get your gun, check your change, cut your tongue' to the trance of its adrenalised rhythms.

From the weird world of Krane, the press pack spins Kong as 'this springtime's happiest sick flick jingle'. The video to Being Kong can be viewed from their myspace page. Expand your mind and indulge a little. The single was released this week and can be ordered through their myspace page.
