Elektroraum Der Anfang einer Hausmusik Unruhiger Stuhl erster Teil Blaues für nichts Im Elektroraum Unruhiger Stuhl zweiter Teil Der Schnurrbart Friedrich Nietzsche Die Bürde des Königs Am Nordpol Ein März Kind Auf den Hund gekommen Der dritte Teil eines Stückes War es Bach? Music and all instruments: Jens Kindermann Artwork: Jens Kindermann" [label info] "Jens Kinderman is the man behind For Kings And Queens, from Berlin, and he has released a bunch of releases before and now returns with an album of songs, which he 'demoed' in the last four years, but now fully works into proper songs. His primary instruments are the guitar, synth, effect pedals, found sounds and field recordings. Unlike his last release, which was all about voices, he goes back to his earlier releases and influences and it's not difficult to see such influences as say from Fennesz here. Many of these songs, except for the first, are rather short and to the point. He uses a bit of sound, loops that around, and adds further treatment to individual sounds as he mixes them along as the piece evolves. I thought the first piece, close to eight minutes, was a bit long for what it was and a bit unfocussed, but the other eleven were more to the point and sharp, exploring the right amount of sound sources and ideas per track, and then moving to a whole new set of sounds and ideas in the next, making this a highly varied work, which held my attention for the entire forty-three minutes. Maybe in terms of glitch (etc.) not the most innovative work, but I thought it was most entertaining record. Easily the best album by For Kings And Queens I heard so far."
