Kingdom of Kong

King Kong

A loose, danceable collection of dry-groove post-punk and eccentric organ-driven indie rock, trading heavy concept narratives for playful, deadpan funk.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the cheap organ on 'Games' cuts through the dry rhythm section, turning a simple post-punk groove into a retro-futuristic dance track.
The deadpan vocal interplay between Ethan Buckler and Amy Greenwood on 'Floor, Door, I Don't Wanna Party Anymore', capturing the exact feeling of social exhaustion.
The hypnotic, slow-burning repetition of 'Mars', where the band stretches their minimalist groove to its absolute limit.
