About Me |
|
| "The term ‘meticulous' finds its most perfect application in describing the music of Kiln. Every element and moment of the group's full-length Ghostly debut, Dusker, is painstakingly considered, resulting in one of the most purely satisfying listening experiences in recent memory." -Textura "Nodding to multiple genres without bowing to any, Kiln marry digital and meatworld sounds so adroitly on Dusker that identifying sources is both irresistible and impossible." -PaperThinWalls "...one of the few bands that makes textured, experimental instrumentation exciting." -XLR8R "Dusker is an experience worth sharing, each moment echoing and crumbling with grace and hesitation, no matter which track is played first." -Orlando Weekly "It's an audiophile's genre, and Kiln's magic lies in creating a sonic wash and overlaying it with galaxies of sculpted, pearly sounds, many from guitars or keyboards, synthetically generated tones, or samples from sources hard to identify." -LansingStateJournal "The chilled-out, cloistered mood of Dusker makes the world melt away, lulling the listener into relaxing, meditative expanses." -Alarm "(Kiln) alchemize electro-acoustic elements of post-rock, shoegaze, and ambient into atmospheres of textural opulence." -Textura "Kiln’s music, made by a trio of multi-instrumentalists working with digital and tangible tools, is new to me, but it doesn’t feel that way: it supercedes labels like “post-rock” or “Tortoise-esque” or “bespectacled” by virtue of how much ground these tracks cover, genre-wise and within the listener’s imagination." -Dusted “...fizzling with warm electronic beauty, sparse sinuous beats and innovation.” -Wallpaper “...sound sculptures of panoramic depth and kaleidoscopic radiance...” -All Music Guide “Lush musical event constructions from former members of Fibreforms /Waterwheel; layers of spacious southwestern guitar melodies, over earthy, sometimes funky drumming, their previous EP got many rave reviews (among them from Alternative Press which said that they “sound so natural and unforced that they could have arisen spontaneously from private conversations among the instruments”), supple, ambient music that’s so good, and in this case, sounds so good, that it should be playing from many stereos across the land, making a spectacular and immediate broadcast connection for the pleasure of a massive all.” -Avant Garde “With each album, Kiln consistently shatter the Platonic Ideal of beauty and grace in music, only to rebuild it to a height out of reach of anyone but themselves. ” -Brainwashed .. |
