KILN: From Dawn to Dusker

After a delay of almost half a year, Michigan-based trio KILN have finally set their new full-length album free for the world to hear. “Dusker” is released on Ghostly International and features eleven electronic fairy tales of lustrous, glinting and glistening timbres. Described by Ghostly “as an aural feast on headphones, and a perfect companion for a stroll through auburn fields.”, “Dusker” is a sweet and soft infusion of pure harmony , penetrating the mind like a crystalised sugar syringe. Originally slated for a release in April of this year, the record was then set back to the wintertime due to what KILN referred to as “distribution snafu and other chaos”. In the end, though, all issues have been resolved and first reactions, as KILN were eager to point out, were more than just encouraging. In a recent statement, the band summed up the first month of Dusker thus: “Dusker is still soaring—ranking as high as no.8 on iTunes Top Ten 'electronic albums' sales, reaching no. 15 (overall) in Emusic downloads, and getting chosen as an Entertainment Weekly "Pick of the Week." After ten years of refining their sound from tape experiments to a band-concept and to a style which they call “texture-groove-mosaics”, “Dusker” now looks like it will bring KILN the breakthrough they have been working towards for a long time.
