Kairon; IRSE! - Ujubasajuba '2017

Tracks list

Formed in 2009 by four inner-space travellers from western Finland, Kairon;
IRSE! is a rare bird, near-impossible to classify. The Wire describes their
music as a “viperous cocktail of space rock, Greg Lake-era King Crimson
and free jazz”, and ever since their debut album, Ujubasajuba set Bandcamp
buzzing in 2014, their records have been hidden classics of modern psych-rock
for those in the know. It was their sophomore release, Ruination, in 2017 that
established Kairon; IRSE!’s place in the canon of Finnish genre-bending
freakout fusion, bringing them widespread critical acclaim and a multitude of
wild-eyed devotees to their astral-magic live-shows. Prog Magazine referred to
their “propulsive storm of

psych rock hiss’n’fizz”, and Kairon; IRSE!’s
carefully crafted song structures came to the fore on Ruination, flexing a
newly-forged pop sensibility for reshaping past influences into a futuristic
tour de force of consciousness expansion. The Guardian found their music
“as invigorating as a dip in a Finnish lake”, with “a sense of
the visionary and sublime”, featuring Kairon; IRSE! as New Band Of The
Week . Following a European tour in 2017, Kairon; IRSE! set sails for a
performance at Roadburn Festival 2018, securing their name in the heart of the
underground as rising stars of psychedelic post-rock.

As the new decade unfolds, Kairon; IRSE! prepare to pour down their
multicoloured dreams thru your cerebral cortex on their highly anticipated new
3rd album,Polysomn. A treasure-trove of glitching, elated sounds, that takes
psychedelia into a new dimension, Polysomn brings to mind the melodic lightning
of bands like Dungen, the chainsawing alternative guitar fuzz of My Bloody
Valentine, the sparkle and dreamscape of Slowdive, and the technological
envelope-pushing of Radiohead’s outsider works.
Boldly self-produced, Niko from Kairon; IRSE! explains their further evolution
into inner-space song-craft on Polysomn:
We had a clear goal in our mind of what we should sound like, therefore we chose
to produce the album by ourselves. Our goal was to make an intact and more
compact album that all of its songs would support individually.

With the band fully in control of their distorted, euphoric bliss-machine of
psychedelic post-rock, the result couldn’t be more refreshingly pop.
Every twist and turn of Polysomn’s acid-laced chaos is calculated in
shimmering brilliance and maximised for the heavy ecstasy of sonic
enlightenment. We doubt that 2020 deserves a more blissful audio trip than
Polysomn, going interstellar from the 11th of September 2020, via Svart Records.
