Chi'en

by Qa'a

supported by
Mushroom Head
Mushroom Head thumbnail
Mushroom Head Masterful, mesmerizing music. A lot of people compare Qa'a to CAN, and for good reason, though that's only part of how to describe their sound. They certainly represent the best and highest spiritual and musical standards of Krautrock and psychedelia, creating music that is free-minded, wild, genuine and unusual. But Qa'a is a totally original synthesis of everything they love. Unique and sincere, Chi'en is an unpredictable album of profound imagination, beauty, and soul.

about

Chi’en is an 80 minute long psychedelic trip that feels like a single unity moving forward. In this second album by Qa’a almost all the musical threads of the band are deepened; It’s more hypnotic and repetitive, noisier and more dissonant, somewhat more abstract and at the same time more folk although there are less ambient/drone/free jazz parts than in Vesprada. It’s a record of extremes, from nude moments to walls of dissonance and harrowing noise with a psychedelic production that has tons of layers, sounds and instruments thrown in for good measure. Hans Joachim Irmler from Faust, a professed fan, aided the band to mix and master the album.
