Will Steve Albini be the secret of KEN Mode’s Success? The legendary producer was behind the board for the band’s forthcoming sixth album, and today the band unveiled a short, artfully shot trailer. You don’t really get a sense of what the album will sound like from the trailer, as it’s a dissonant collage of sound, free of vocals or context. There’s no release date yet for the album, which will be out on New Damage in the band’s home country of Canada and Season of Mist here in America. Matthewson described the album as “a decidedly stripped-down northern noise rock apocalypse to be unleashed on the world.” It includes appearances from Eugene Robinson of Oxbow and members of Full of Hell. According to Exclaim
, song titles include “Blessed,” “Absolutely Not,” “Failing at Fun Since 1981,” “Dead Actors,” “A Catalog of Small Disappointments,” “Management Control,” “A Passive Disaster,” and “I Just Liked Fire.”
