KEN Mode announce new album VOID
When KEN Mode released their album NULL last year, the noise rock group teased that there was even more music on the way. And today, they’ve confirmed it. On September 22, they’ll release VOID, via Artoffact Records. Today they’ve shared new song “The Shrike.” Hear it below.
In a statement, KEN Mode’s Jesse Matthewson said it’s their “version of a classic driving rock song. Equal parts Drive Like Jehu and QOTSA, but with a cry for help so desperate you’ll be brought right back to being stuck in a cycle of hopelessness and asinine political unrest, not unlike 2020-2021. Not like much has changed.”
KEN Mode’s NULL was on our list of the 50 Best Albums of 2022.
