Kinski

Kinski is a Seattle-based experimental rock crew that's been bending genres since forming in 1998. Known for their psychedelic swirl of krautrock rhythms, shoegaze textures, and thunderous post-rock crescendos, this instrumental four-piece creates music that's equally cerebral and visceral. Over two decades and numerous albums, they've carved out a space where My Bloody Valentine's distortion hugs Can's motorik beats, earning them a devoted following among fans of left-field rock.

The band's recent output shows no signs of mellowing, with 2020's "Accustomed to Your Face" delivering their signature blend of cosmic jams and razor-sharp riffs. Their collaborative spirit shines through projects like the "Sandrider + Kinski" split EP, while playful titles like "Do You Like Long Hair?" and "7 (or 8)" hint at their offbeat humor. Whether crafting abridged versions of their epic tracks or teaming up with guest vocalists, Kinski continues to push their psychedelic explorations into new territories while staying rooted in bone-shaking live energy.
