Our Take

In a musical landscape littered with generic pop clones and overproduced mediocrity, KINK GONG's latest offering, "Xinjiang," is a breath of fresh air. This eccentric and innovative artist takes us on a sonic journey through the rugged landscapes of Xinjiang, China with a collection of field recordings and experimental sounds that defy categorisation.

From the hypnotic rhythms of "Uyghur Rawap" to the haunting melodies of "Kazakh Moon," each track on this album is a sonic tapestry that transports the listener to a world where traditional music collides with modernity in the most unexpected ways. KINK GONG's unorthodox approach to sound design and composition is both captivating and bewildering, leaving us wondering where the boundaries of music truly lie.

While some may find the lack of conventional song structures and melodies off-putting, those willing to embrace the avant-garde will be rewarded with aural delights that challenge the very notion of what music can be. "Xinjiang" is a sonic adventure like no other, and KINK GONG is the intrepid explorer leading us into uncharted territories of sound. Strap in, dear listener, and prepare to be amazed.
