[T]he thing I love so much about King Khan is the absolute showmanship that goes along with the music. They are ever entertaining, sometimes hilarious, and they make some rocking tunes that ride a fine line between garage & psychedelic rock. Check out their new single, “Born to Die,” off their upcoming record, Idle No More, out September 3rd on Merge. “Born to Die,” straddles that line, with acid laced guitar riffs, horns and eclectic almost cinematic sound to it.
Also, if you dare, check out their “Bite My Tongue” video, one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in a long while.
