Kinski’s new album, Down Below It’s Chaos, will be released August 21st. Here are some words from our bff’s at Sub Pop:

On August 21st, Sub Pop will release the new Kinski album Down Below It’s Chaos on CD and LP (and invisible digital format). If you pre-order the new record by release date, you’ll receive a limited-edition CD-R of a live score the band did in June of this year at the Seattle International Film Festival. Kinski played live accompaniment with the 1927 silent film, “Berlin, Symphony of a City” by Walter Ruttmann at the Triple Door here in Seattle. This CD-R contains a portion of the recordings from their two performances. It’s all live; no overdubs. (And the clinking you hear occasionally is people eating dinner!)
