Kahn prepares to drop new 12″

Kahn‘s debut 12″ ‘Like We Used To/Helter Skelter’ was a beautiful exercise in moody garage, woozy and otherworldy with vocal samples that alternately beg and moan in ecstasy. Now the Bristol beatmaker is readying a new slab of vinyl for Punch Drunk Records. Side A’s ‘Illy’ stacks melancholy vocals on top of pulsating arpeggios, an after-dark burner that soars and dips like a manic-depressive robot. ‘Tehran’ is even more sinister, Mid-Eastern wails chopped into a skittering rhythm. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait for October 17th until this drops, but sate your hunger with some clips below.
