Introducing a twenty-track album from a multi-instrumental and multi-genre storyteller and musician. War Is Family is a boldly gripping audio venture, with spoken word and piercing sentiments backed by atmospheric details and historical horrors that resonate in a striking way.
Born a Texan begins our journey, and Konrad Kinard proceeds to hold tightly to our attention, throughout this rather stunning and poignantly topical project.
Creatively unpredictable, heartbreakingly, and impossible to pigeon-hole, we move from poems to chants to anthems, through psychedelic shifts, cinematic tones, gritty rhythms, refrains and repeats.
Better Red Than Dead loops out to intensely hypnotise its audience, as we fall deeper under the spell of this intricate analysis and presentation of psychological strain and suffering; daily life consumed by nuclear threat, inner turmoil, and cultural division.
If you’re looking for the cinematic power of something meaningful, illuminated by voices, scenes, images, ideas, and musical theatrics, War Is Family is fascinating, and genuinely incomparable. The lyrics are incredible, the voices mesmerising, the references unignorable, and the music spellbinding alongside.
