Kandodo 3
K3 (2lp)
2019 studio full length from Bristol based sike-o-nauts, orbiting in the Heads' realm and led by Heads' Simon Price. 'K3' continues the trajectory of outer space excursions found on previous Kandodo releases. Recorded over the past three years and aided by fellow Heads types H.O. Morgan and Wayne Maskell, this album was recorded in Bristol and on Price's 4 track. Out of focus, relaxed and expansive vibes fuse together into serpentine rivers of minimalist rhythms and echoed tones, drawing the listener into tunnels of sound and scorched sonic landscapes. It's one for the headphones at 30,000 feet or late night deserted drives. 'K3' finds three heads taking time out to dive into the dronal repetitions of deep space, 3 psychonauts killing time in the only way they know how; head-nodding drumfuzz layered with creamed strings. Guest guitar from fellow sike-head John McBain on the final half of the 40 minute trip which makes up sides 3 and 4. For fans of Popul Vuh, Pårson Sound, Amon Düül, Neu!, The Heads, Spacemen 3, Harmonia, Moon Duo, Carlton Melton, Fripp & Eno.
