KEN mode's 8th LP on 12" vinyl, CD, cassette and digital download. Buy Digital: https://kenmode.bandcamp.com/album/null STREAM: https://open.spotify.com/album/0I8Yv6gRPKHeRZzBIB2mXf STREAM: https://itunes.apple.com/album/id/1622643191 NULL, the band’s brand-new aural abrasion, may be the group’s quintessential statement of mental collapse and despair made sonic, a direct psychological reaction to the collective experience of the last two and a half years. Drawing from not only the desperate noise and industrial sonics of the 80’s and 90’s ala Swans, Einsturzende Neubauten, or even a Nine Inch Nails, the band has mixed in a decidedly more desperate tone to their already pointed metallic hardcore influenced “extreme noise rock” (see Melvins, Today Is The Day meets Converge and Botch), that has become their signature. Featuring 8 new tracks recorded and produced throughout the fall and winter of 2021 by Andrew Schneider, mastered by Carl Saff, with artwork and layouts by the band's longtime collaborator Randy Ortiz. Released Sept 23, 2022. 1. A Love Letter2. Throw Your Phone In The River3. The Tie4. But They Respect My Tactics5. Not My Fault6. Lost Grip7. The Desperate Search For An Enemy8. Unresponsive Recorded October 2021 @ Private Ear Recording in Winnipeg, MB, Canada by Andrew Schneider, cello on 'Unresponsive' by Natanielle Felicitas. Guilty Parties: Jesse Matthewson, Shane Matthewson, Scott Hamilton, Kathryn Kerr.
