Kensington Gore - Kensington Gore
Review by BeheldBEAT
Kensington Gore's self-titled album is a mesmerizing blend of haunting melodies, driving rhythms, and atmospheric soundscapes. From the opening track, "The Night is Coming," the listener is drawn into a world of dark beauty and melancholy, as the band weaves together elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and gothic rock into a distinctive and compelling sound.
Throughout the album, the band's musicianship and songwriting skills are on full display, with each track offering something new and intriguing. "The Shadows," for example, features a driving bassline and shimmering guitar work, while "The Lost Ones" is a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create evocative and emotional music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Last Time," which features a stunning vocal performance from lead singer Caroline Blind. Her voice is both powerful and vulnerable, conveying a sense of longing and despair that perfectly matches the song's haunting melody.

Notes
- Who doesn't like a little bloodletting? Kensington gore is the recipe used to create blood in Hammer horror films. Made up of Stephen Wood and Scott Gubbels, KG have been holed up in I.H.O.J. Studios over the last year or so putting together this 10 song sonic mutation. Some connection to keyboard-oriented Krautrock bands like Harmonia and La Dusseldorf may be warranted. Perhaps if eighties Krautrock was good this record would fit the bill. The songs are a combination of spontaneous and studied with several being conceived, recorded and mixed in a single day.
- Full-colour front and back jackets have been lovingly printed by Scott August (Triple Crown Records) on heavyweight 24 point matte in an edition of 200. A download coupon is included. Correlating music videos are expected by visual artists Alex Mackenzie, Derek Brunen, Sydney Vermont, Lester Smolenski, Khan Lee, Adam O. Thomas. The run-off groove states the word "eggtooth".
- Stephen Wood was the guitarist in the "classic" Destroyer line-up which also featured Jason Zumpano, John Collins (new pornographers) and Scott Morgan (loscil). Since then he has led The Battles which have included members Dan Bejar (destroyer), Jeremy Schmidt (black mountain) and Scott Morgan.
- Scott Gubbels was a guitarist in the sludge bubblegum outfit Superconductor. He has also played keyboards in Capozzi Park and British Columbia Voltage Controlled Oscillator (with Jeremy Schmidt and Josh Stevenson [von bingen, jackie-o motherfucker] ).
- Perhaps best known for releasing the first two Destroyer albums ("we'll build them in a golden bridge"/"city of daughters"), this is Tinker Records' first release in 14 years.
