K÷hn is a the electronica-bedroom-project from a young guy, Jurgen
De Blonde, living in the very small Belgian village, Knesselare.
His first music was basic guitarpop, but, without throwing his
guitar out completely, he discovered the possibilities of a
sampler. A first cd was released on (K-RAA-K)3, filled with a lot
of weird skippings and bleeps. Foreign press hyped the guy so much
it resulted in a several concerts through Europe and a "request"
support act for Sonic Youth in Brussels. And indeed, K÷hn is one of
the few electronic acts which is really enjoyable and refreshing to
see performing. Jurgen De Blonde is still involved in a dozen other
projects/bands and he also made some remixes but Kohn has always
been his main project, so we kinda trusted it.
Now the second album is finished. It took him a long time but we
think it was worth the waiting. His live-concerts annouced it
already: a big step forward has been taken from his debut cd. The
new album is more mature and warm. He experiments with beats and
melodies like he is born to do nothing other then that. Strange
sonorities keep you allerted and make you want to check your
hifi-system. A couple of guitars and vocals break down the barriers
between electronix and songs. Skippings and scratches result in
zigzag melodies.
His soundlibrary won't sound familiar but if you listen closely,
you'll discover real popmusic. Where electronic bands like Oval,
Noto, Farmers Manual mainly focus on pure sound, K÷hn explores that
field into structured soundclashing and real songs. So, you'll have
some kind of dancetracks, ambientsounds deconstructed by Musique
Concrete and Pavement.
We just hope you can feel as excited as we are.
