Our Take

When it comes to progressive rock, King Crimson has always been in a league of their own. With their latest album, "Usain British English," the band continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations in typical King Crimson fashion.

From the opening track, "Limey Locomotive," the band immediately hooks the listener with intricate guitar work and mind-bending time signatures. It's like taking a musical journey through a maze, with twists and turns around every corner.

The standout track on the album has to be "Tea and Crumpets," a 15-minute epic that showcases the band's technical prowess and ability to blend genres seamlessly. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, from haunting melodies to explosive riffs, that leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

But it's not all serious business with King Crimson. Tracks like "Chap Hop Shuffle" and "Pimm's O'Clock" add a touch of whimsy to the album, showing off the band's playful side.

Overall, "Usain British English" is a masterclass in progressive rock. King Crimson proves once again why they are legends in the genre, delivering an album that is both challenging and immensely enjoyable. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let King Crimson take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers!

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
