: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: The crew that Quietus called "one of the most exciting musical :,
: propositions the UK currently has to offer" are back with a :
:' brand new manifesto. Mirroring the avalanche of sound which has ':
,: characterized their unforgettable live shows, Aroo is living :,
: proof that the non-aligned, nomadic trio have long since :
:' jettisoned their 21st century Lovers Rock, and set their sights ':
,: uncompromisingly on a great unknown. :,
: :
:' Drone, melancholy, and a sea of fuzz blisteringly collide, but ':
,: Aroo is also utterly infectious, its central howl living on in :,
: the memory long after the first listen. Attracting an audience :
:' of post metal volume junkies, new generation shoegazers and ':
,: disenchanted dubstep escapees, King Midas Sound's unilaterally :,
: fresh approach is paying off. The band have cultivated a crowd :
:' hungry for pure emotion, unforgettable spectacle, and who leave ':
,: uniformly shocked, knowingly smiling and physically shaken. :,
: :
:' The sweetest of bitter voices hits a wall of noise, with the ':
,: deepest of dub basslines carrying the crew into a radically :,
: different dimension, as they now move with homicidal stealth, :
:' from a whisper to a scream, like no others at the moment. ':
,: :,
: When 'Passion of the Weiss' magazine reviewed KMS at Mutek, they :
:' said the three sound like an apocalyptic "My Bloody Valentine ':
,: in Dub", but that description only just hints at the :,
: breathtaking bombardment of Aroo. :
:' The band's neckbreak, headnod rhythms now owe more to New York ':
,: than Jamaica, and the spirit of independence feels like Post :,
: Punk has been reinvented for a mutant B-boy/fly gyal generation. :
:' Pairing rhythmic bodyshocks with bewitching, lyrical, tone ':
,: poems, it seems like Midas have found an unexpected meeting :,
: place for sheer beauty and musical terror. :
:' ':
,: Having recently shared stages with the likes of Hype Williams, :,
: Om, Fuck Buttons, Raime, Godflesh and more, the intensity of the :
:' sonic rollercoaster they have developed can be heard clearly ':
,: with this striking, debut release for Ninja Tune. A brave step :,
: forward into a glorious unknown, KMS are musical pioneers aiming :
:' to perfect a razor sharp pop edge in the epicentre of their ':
,: hypnotic, electrical storm. Look out... :,
