* PREORDER * KILYNN LUNSFORD - Promiscuous Genes LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive June

Highly recommended.

We first became aware of Kilynn Lunsford via the wonderful Taiwan Housing Project. Her previous album on ever/never was also superb.

Kilynn Lunsford offers pagan and primitive rhythm music that has served to stymie the development of neoliberal libertarian hegemonic forces and Silicon Valley’s strange cyborg agenda alike (as well as inspiring more than a few indie rockers to attempt something more interesting).

Invoking the ghosts of Michael Zilkha’s sleek Ze Records disco-electro-bongo punk stable with some Pop Group, Man Parrish, Pink Section, New Age Steppers, On-U sound, Lene Lovich and Algebra Suicide - with some Birthday Party/Bat-cave follies thrown in for good measure.

Kilynn is a legendary performer whose many records defy categorization or easy assimilation in the mainstream indie market which has cozied up to the digital leviathan so snugly. Her music is dance dissonance; irresistible but difficult for the algorithm to understand. Kilynn Lunsford doesn’t go in for the trite stories publicity teams use to wage their lowbrow PR campaigns. Hers is a hard road but ultimately the high one.

With the new record, Kilynn has done it again; “My Amphibian Face” is cafe jazz for Lemmy Caution. “Promiscuous Genes” is nightclub music for the hotel on AURORA 9.

Kilynn Lunsford’s music is a stand out; tough, charming, fun, menacing, and impossible to classify. It really can’t be pinned down, which is an obstacle Lunsford has faced innumerable times since the dull minded vocation of rock journalism demands that everything be made normative, neutered, and defanged.
