King Khan and the Supreme's fuzzed out ramshackle punk-garage-soul masterpiece has finally been released in the states by Vice Records .
The album was originally released in 2007 on Hazelwood records in Germany and never saw release stateside . King Khan and the shrines are a familiar ride in a vintage Cadillac . If you were to put this album on totally blind you wouldn't know it was current . What is ? sounds like some arcane lost gem from the seventies pulled out of a dusty crate . King Khan has an effortless swagger and his vocals go from doo wop harmony to full on blues growl with lyrics peppered with sharp bits of ironic humor and innuendo . Lending itself to repeated listening . The 70' soul attack does not have a chance to grow tiresome because it shifts from heavy garage hitters like no regrets to the sticky funk of land of the freak . Without any awkwardness . The Wah-wah sound is featured heavily and king khans vocal have got a great play with the band .Speaking of the band the band is always on fire blazing with organs horns and the ever present guitar you are sonically surrounded with little flourishes . The album finishes out with the Ballad of Lady Godiva an obvious nod to Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground kicks off with this beautifully absurd gem
"She speaks in dimebags and prophylactics
about reefer dreams and acrobatics"
This is Truly an incredible piece of modern music that knows its roots and knows its future . I Think these guys have an incredible future ahead of them .
