Album Info

EM4DP is kimono's third studio album and their first album of all new material since Arctic Death Ship, which received 5 stars in Morgunbladid when it was released in late 2005. Since then, kimono has moved to Berlin, returned home, lost a bass player, and emerged on the other end of it all stronger and more focused than ever. You might say that kimono has flown "under the radar" for the past few years, but this album is going to get in everyone's face like a psychic on uppers.

As anyone who has seen them in concert will attest, kimono are a fucking incredible band to experience with a jagged interplay of drums and guitars that truly sounds like nothing else you've ever heard. EM4DP is as close as kimono has ever come to capturing the blistering energy of their feverish live sets on record as the whole thing was recorded in a single room in single takes. kimono has always stood out as a band well-versed in the lexicon of cutting-edge rock music and this record represents the very pinnacle of their time on this earth.

The album is produced by kimono, mixed by Aron Arnarsson, features artwork by Hafsteinn Michael and is released by Kimi Records and everyone's pleased as punch about the whole situation.

The more I listen to this album the better it gets. Reminds me of a high energy-more-full-of-sound Wire. Which oddly enough brings me to the song Wire, so minimal yet full of energy and sound you can't help but thump your foot to it's beat and sing along.

Very good effort, thoroughly enjoyed.

I must be 'Difficult People' because this is very easy to listen to. I love the guitar work especially, as it always sounds as if it's going to go out of control, but it never does. The rawness of the recordings is brilliant. Music like this should be sending out its energy and it certainly is. Brilliant.

Like one of those moody hipsters that hangs in the background and mumbles a lot, Kimono are back with a new album! And the title is bloody awful! Easy Music For Difficult People is the sort of title that Nickleback would use when they´re trying to be edgy. However that´s the only bad thing I have to say about this album.

I´ve heard the term “Progressive indie rock” coined for Kimono and it´s a pretty apt description. Think Shellac after they listened to too many mid-70´s Rush albums. This is most evident in “Black” and “Animal” where the vocal stylings are pure Jethro Tull. Compared to their last album, Easy is a lot more immediate and urgent. The drums sound more thunderous, the guitars are more guttural and growling, while the vocals are frantic and yelping (perhaps the producer got out his cattle prod “motivational tool”). And clocking in at under 30 minutes, it just socks you with baritone power and then finishes, saying “Call me” without leaving it´s number. But like the guitar rock slut that I am, it just makes me want to go back the beginning and play it again (and again)...
