Kungens Män hail from Stockholm, Sweden
and have been around as a musical unit since 2012. Their inspiration
comes from the drone, the rattle of the loose screw, the circuit
failure of the effects, the phatness of the moog and from the very
diverse wiring of a bunch of middle aged Swedish freaks. Kungens Män
never plan the next musical move - it presents itself.
Nine months after their acclaimed album
'Chef' (also released on Riot Season) the band return with 'Hårt Som
Ben’, a stunning follow up with a debut UK tour to coincide.
Echoes And Dust on ‘Chef’: “From
pure psychedelic freak out, to exploratory ramblings, and all imbued
with a sense of communal priority to create together a work of immense
intelligence, Chef is an album which begs for continued listens and
deep immersion. That it is so accessible too, makes that genius shine
through even more so. Superb.”
At the end of May 2019 Kungens Män packed
a couple of cars full of instruments and life supporting essentials
and drove into the woods of Värmland to spend three days in the
legendary Silence Studio. It has hosted recordings by bands and
musicians like Bo Hansson, Motorpsycho, The Hellacopters, Bob Hund and
Union Carbide Productions, the presence felt and seen all over the
place.
In between watching VHS tapes with Twin
Peaks, Miles Davis and Roskilde Festival 92, cooking pasta, sleeping
in bunk beds, Bruce Bannering shirts and chilling in the sun, Kungens
Män managed to record about 13 hours of music. Some of it will never
reach your ears, but here’s the first slab made public – Hårt som
ben – Hard As Bone. Not very hard, that is.
