Æ Presents Kungens Män, Silver Vials, XUP & Guests

KUNGENS MAN
Kungens Män started out in 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden, when a bunch of good friends decided to bring some instruments when hanging out. The random jam sessions became more and more regular and soon Kungens Män started recording it all, completely unfiltered and without safety nets. The music soon found its way to the internet and people seemed to like it. From the debut and onwards, every show has been a different story. Always new sounds and improvisations, different guest musicians, different happenings. Kungens Män are rooted in the psychedelic/drone rock tradition of bands such as Träd, Gräs & Stenar, but also add influences from krautrock, shoegaze, noiserock and free jazz. The first vinyl-LP “Förnekaren” by Kungens Män was released by the German label Adansonia Records in 2015, and the second double-LP “Stockholm Maraton” came out in September 2016.

SILVER VIALS
Silver Vials] closed with an impressive and excessive pile driver of a song. It flickered beautifully between a slow Brian Jonestown like groove into a Pink Floyd-esque brain melter to brilliant effect

FOREST MOURNING
Forest Mourning is a solo project from Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska guitarist Chris Jude Watson. Layers of looped nature recordings, mouth sounds, throat singing and reverberating guitars accented with singing bowls, improvised percussion and body movements. This project was born from visits to the surrounding area of the artists home town and is a direct emotional response to the distorted and destroyed landscapes from their childhood.
