Kinski is a four-piece rock band from Seattle , WA .
Their unique evocation of avant-rock is deconstructionist and heady, but also emotive and visceral.

Comprised of guitarists Chris Martin and Matthew Reid-Schwartz (Matthew also plays keyboards and flute), bassist Lucy Atkinson, and drummer Barrett Wilke, Kinski have toured with Mission of Burma, Comets on Fire, Oneida , Mono, Acid Mothers Temple , Black Mountain , and most recently opened a month of dates for Tool on their spring '07 tour.

Produced and recorded by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O))), Boris) at his Aleph Studio in Seattle , Down Below It's Chaos is Kinski's 3rd full-length for Sub Pop.

REVIEWS

"Down Below It's Chaos is the most beautiful slab of fuzzy post-grunge nihilism I've heard in years, and I don't want to listen to anything else ever again."
-subba-cultcha

"They reconcile the tension between sonic experimentation/improvisation and song structure with grace and cunning."
-The Stranger

"...they follow measured guitar burn with bone-rattling explosions, and roll mesmerizing tension into colossal release."
-Blender Magazine (review of Airs Above Your Station)

"Kinski is fucking massive."
-fakejazz.com

"Kinski is one of the finest rock bands Seattle has produced."
-The Seattle Times

Kinski rocked the house at this one. Upstairs in whelan's is possibly the most horribly laid out venue i've ever seen tho, i can't believe they couldn't have set it up a bit better.

yeah didnt like the venue much. a bit too narrow at the stage and too many doors and walls...L-shaped with a toe. the sound was top drawer though.

Kinski were superb in some parts and a bit boring in others...but i was staring to tire and was recalling how great Band of Horses were earlier in the night.

Large Mound were on fire. sounded brilliant yet again.

it seems the whole section that kinda ruins the view to the stage is going. there's a listed stairway in there but it's now unsafe so they have permission to get rid of it. when that happens the room will open up.

good sound i thought though.

Faster than some people email on their postal addresses too?
