Download Ujubasajuba by Kairon IRSE in high-resolution audio at - Available in 44. The Guardian found their music “as invigorating as a dip in a Finnish lake”, with “a sense of the visionary and sublime”, featuring Kairon IRSE! as New Band Of The Week. A treasure-trove of glitching, elated sounds, that takes psychedelia into a new dimension, Polysomn brings to mind the melodic lightning of bands like Dungen, the chainsawing alternative guitar fuzz of My Bloody Valentine, the sparkle and dreamscape of Slowdive, and the technological envelope-pushing of Radiohead’s outsider works.īoldly self-produced, Niko from Kairon IRSE! explains their further evolution into inner-space song-craft on Polysomn: Following a European tour in 2017, Kairon IRSE! set sails for a performance at Roadburn Festival 2018, securing their name in the heart of the underground as rising stars of psychedelic post-rock.Īs the new decade unfolds, Kairon IRSE! prepare to pour down their multicoloured dreams thru your cerebral cortex on their highly anticipated new 3rd album,Polysomn. We had a clear goal in our mind of what we should sound like, therefore we chose to produce the album by ourselves. Our goal was to make an intact and more compact album that all of its songs would support individually. With the band fully in control of their distorted, euphoric bliss-machine of psychedelic post-rock, the result couldn’t be more refreshingly pop. Every twist and turn of Polysomn’s acid-laced chaos is calculated in shimmering brilliance and maximised for the heavy ecstasy of sonic enlightenment. One version of the Surrealist Manifesto reads something like this: “Surrealism is pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought.We doubt that 2020 deserves a more blissful audio trip than Polysomn, going interstellar from the 11th of September 2020, via Svart Records.Ġ6. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.” This sounds to me like something that music would be well-suited to achieve in general, and the Finnish astral magicians, KAIRON IRSE!, are just the right bunch to evoke a particularly surreal response. I’d like to stress that by “surreal” I do not mean the type of underground rock that’s predominantly weird, but rather something unusual and fascinating, mind-bending even. I’m talking about psychedelic music that worms its way into your head and pushes you off this plane of reality – pure stream of consciousness stuff, that is. KAIRON IRSE! was formed in 2009 by four inner-space travelers and in 2014, their album “Ujubasajuba” set Bandcamp on fire. Now the band is in the roster of Svart Records and they will be releasing a new selection of sonic incantations entitled ”Polysomn” on 11 September 2020. This new album marks an exciting departure from the gritty and krautrockish psychedelia of the band’s previous albums into the lysergic pop realms of bands such as TAME IMPALA and MEW – with a unique twist, of course. The psych-pop of KAIRON IRSE! sounds like a multicolored fever dream buzzing through your cerebral cortex. The band’s sonic palette consists of a meticulously crafted mixture of atmospheric pop, shoegaze, and all the past influences, ranging from krautrock to 1990s alternative, reshaped into a treasure-trove of psychedelic enlightenment. “Polysomn” is not necessarily music to take drugs to, simply because it’s pure dope in itself. Two songs were released ahead of the album as teasers. The first single release, “An Bat None,” launches into a sparkling and hypnotic dreamworld of sound that is simultaneously reminiscent of the surreal dream-pop of MEW and the drowsy, spacious shoegaze of SLOWDIVE, with sonic bursts of fuzzy guitars à la MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Only by a great effort of will, you might be able to hold back from being overwhelmed by the sonic wall of ethereal bliss or “autuuden äänivalli” as the band calls it. Like an illusionist performing a sleight of hand, the song fixes you in a state of a sonic dust storm as if with a mesmeric eye. The second single off the album, “Welcome Blue Valkyrie,” dives even deeper into sonic reveries of the trippy kind. In this song, the manic rhythms give way to the ebb and flow of ethereal guitars that lull you into the neverland of lucid dreams with ease, like a hipster version of early PINK FLOYD.
