Both “Kautokeino” and “Alaska” are an invitation to travel to the utmost remote places of this earth, using intense sequencing and suffocating subbasses into an epic finish, probably demonstrating the trio in its most sincere form. “Amulet” is inspired by breakbeats, fast paced grooves and pentatonic bass lines. The album’s first single “Little Steps” starts with a strong hip hop groove, morphing into Herbie Hancock-style chords. Highlights are album opener “Kampala”, which has a throbbing bassline, jazzy synths and heavily modified arpeggiators at its core. Moreover, the album succeeds in capturing the energy of their infectious and legendary live shows. It represents a milestone in the band’s musical journey: it’s their firm decision to present a strong and unified trio playing music that stands out through the combination of 80’s synths, acoustic drums and electric bass. “The Cycle Repeats” is KAU’s debut album, due on September 22 on SDBAN Ultra, the home of ECHT!, Black Flower, Glass Museum, STUFF. The KAU cycle is bound to repeat itself and to birth something new - over and over again. Furthermore, the three boys' long-lasting friendship is at the heart of it all, always relying on what brings them together: their love for music. This gives their music an organic and vibrant feel. The formula they use to do so has been the same since their early days: improvisation, never ending jam sessions and an open-mindedness towards various genres and styles. Taking influences from jazz, groove and dance music, their aim is simple but straightforward: to make your heads bob. Representing various European backgrounds, the Belgian capital and melting pot proves to be a never ending source of inspiration for the band. KAU (previously KAU trio.) is an instrumental trio based in Brussels. DISCLAIMER: The real release date is September 23.
