Down below It’s Chaos is one the most solid recordings in the experimental genre today. This Seattle based band met in a bar in 1998. Kinski is Chad Martin on guitar and vocals, Lucy Atkinson on bass, Barret Wilke on drums, and Matthew Reid-Schwartz on keyboards and flute. The latest release is the group’s 6 th full-length album and it oozes with a 70’s hard rock vibe and the experimental sounds of Sonic Youth. A broad spectrum of noise flows from track to track. Beautiful, visceral and elaborate can describe this variety. The rock feel is accented by droning vocals, cerebral and gritty guitar riffs. Symphonic synths and flutes flow into every song. The entire album flows and must be heard from track one to nine. The first three titles blend together and don’t really jump out at the listener. The fourth track “Boy I was Mad” rings with a piercing metal tone reminiscent of a thunderstorm. Surreal and cosmic sounds move into haunting guitar arrangements. The listener then moves into a keyboard laden and cascading guitar infused track titled “Argentina Turner” that provides a soothing experience. Next the vibes shifts to echoing flutes and sonic textured guitar riffs in “Plan, Steal, Drive”. The ride comes to breathtaking conclusion in “Silent Biker Type”. This nine-minute epic opens with eerie soulful keyboards which transitions into a pulsating rhythm section accompanied by feedback drenched guitars.

Down Below It’s Chaos is for the adventuresome listener looking for an all round listening experience from start to finish. For those brave enough to experiment the reward is well worth the risk.
