King Khan & The Shrines at Tricky Falls, El Paso, Tx. on Tuesday, Nov. 12
They’re touring in support of their new album, Idle No More (out now on Merge). It’s their first new album in six years.
Six long years since the release of What Is?!, cult musical legends King Khan & The Shrines are launching their third studio album on Merge Records next week! Idle No More proves this psychedelic soul band can not only induce feverish frenzied dance floor killers, but also mix it up with timeless hymns and some more serious socio-political issues at the same time. It’s about the state of the world we live in today and it’s King Khan & The Shrines’ most refined piece of music yet. The album, named after an indigenous rights movement, offers a glimmer of hope in such chaotic times. “Idle No More really documents a very big healing process that I had to go through in the past few years and I hope that this music can help the healing process the world is so badly in need of right now,” says Khan. Looks like what has been called the “wildest show on earth” is gearing up for the revolution! If your soul needs a good cleansing then listen to the new record now in it its entirety via SPIN and catch the crazy live spectacle as they celebrate the new record in venues and radio stations all over North America this fall.
