Harry Harrison This is where it’s at. Tone, harmonics, percussion. This is next level for Khan. This album lifts them up to rub shoulders with the mighty like Elder, Bison Machine and King Buffalo. There’s a reason for this many downloads. Get into their earlier stuff, you wont regret it. This is music just makes me smile and that’s the point right? Favorite track: Break Off Your Shells.

Thomas Montinari Un superbe album de bout en bout, qui invite au voyage. Khan démontre une maîtrise du genre stoner, avec une section rythmique très solide et la paire guitare/chant très aérienne devient par moments plus lourde. Parfait! Favorite track: Wolves.

The Deluded 08:37
We’re all burning from the fall of man We’re all burning from the fall of man Send them to make a baby It’s just more to feed All we need is wrong All lie down, all tired out All tied down, all burnt out All fall down, all worn out here And they say if you all want it And then they say what you all need And they say if we all want it Bring it in, bring it, breed And they say if you don’t want it And then they say what you don’t need Bring it in, bring the bullshit Until we all bleed See you swing, see you fall See you swing, off it all

The shaking you is breaking my hands And all I know is lost with plans Listen you’ll say to all who know why And we’ll break off your shells Shaking you will only bring us down Shaking you will only bring us down
3.
Wolves 06:57
Send off your wolves take me Send off your wolves break me Keep up your walls save me Send off your wolves break me Take all you need and give it to me, give it to me Take all you need and give it to me, give it to me It’s a trade Send off your wolves take me Send off your wolves break me Keep up your walls save me Send off your wolves Won’t you take? Won’t you say? Won’t you take? Won’t you say? They all say, they all say god only knows Lay down, lay down They all say, they all say when to walk away, away

Control 09:10
Cannot watch the bowl Cannot feel at all Watch the breaking wall Cannot feel at all Always so dazed, unthinking soul Always slow you don’t know who you are Can’t save them all Can’t save them all Can’t save them all Can’t save them all Fly on past giant towers made with oceans of minds all with one sight to Rule with deception, rule us with fear, watch as our lives spin out of control They’re never gonna set you free Invading all you know Never set you free Never set you free Never set you free Never set you free

Separation 06:41
She sways, all’s saved this time It’s gone away, I’ll have more to say in time Learn all into my head, am I sane? Learn all into my head, if I may? Teach it to the fall of beauty That someone wants what all of you need It’s so hard now, it’s so hard Teach it to the soul of beauty That someone wants what you don’t need And it takes so long when the wind man blows It’s so hard now, it’s so hard Say you don’t know, it is the same obscene Say you don’t know, it is the same obscene All drawn out Long day brought down It’s all they wanted, it’s all they needed All they want is, all they need is Separation

Vale 07:12
Everything you are, everything you want All the things ignored, everything you are Arrest me, erase me, unlist me, release me We live in a vale We live in here all alone We live in ourselves We live in a fairy tale We live in a vale We live in here all alone We live in ourselves We live in a fairy tale We live in a vale We live in here all alone Our love of the vale All living is one resolve I don’t ever know Come and find the vale Come and rest your mind Come and live in the vale It’s only a tale of mine
7.
Slowman 08:36
Hear me call in the sea, we’ll drown seeing it’s only a hand you need to pull you out Let it speak all of the dreams of silent men holding in all these broken thoughts Went to the city where it’s all the same, I’ll show how you can’t save me Went to sleep where I can’t control it all, why can’t you wake me? Stay with me my love, stay with me it’s so lonely Stay with me my love, stay with me it’s so lonely Went to the city where it all became undone, see you can’t save me Went to sleep where I can’t control the thoughts, why can’t you wake me? Stay with me my love, stay with me it’s so lonely Stay with me my love, stay with me it’s so lonely Heal me, help me Heal me, help me
8.
The Drudge 11:16
Send forth a saviour We won’t say no We won’t say no Send someone All return All we’ve learnt You don’t know anyone, you don’t know You don’t know anyone, you don’t know Step from the safe ship It’s already gone All they’ve waited on It all feeds on Step from the sacred table It’s already gone Let it bring and let it say We’re already gone Unsafe, all slaves, unsafe, we’re not getting away Unsafe, all slaves, unsafe, we’re not getting anywhere

about

Khan Melbourne, Australia

Khan meld hazy psychedelia and heavy stoner riffs with a penchant for progressive rhythms and almost dirge-like, industrial- scale crescendos. The songs are lyrically evocative, exuding a sense of despondency and melancholy. Vocally, their songs waver from ethereal falsetto and hypnotic crooning to impassioned wailing punctuated by occasional guttural screams. ... more
