Kes Trio
Black Brown Green Grey White
Wednesday, Oct 13|by René Schaefer
On Black Brown Green Grey White, Kes Trio make beautifully ugly music, ripping apart the guts of indie pop and setting them on fire.

Kes: ‘I’m Very Routine’
Friday, Sep 24 2010|by Doug Wallen
Karl Scullin might eat the same food and wear the same clothes every day, but his approach to music is essentially transitory.
