“Polysomn” is not necessarily music to take drugs to, simply because it’s pure dope in itself. The band’s sonic palette consists of a meticulously crafted mixture of atmospheric pop, shoegaze, and all the past influences, ranging from krautrock to 1990s alternative, reshaped into a treasure-trove of psychedelic enlightenment.
The psych-pop of KAIRON IRSE! sounds like a multicolored fever dream buzzing through your cerebral cortex. This new album marks an exciting departure from the gritty and krautrockish psychedelia of the band’s previous albums into the lysergic pop realms of bands such as TAME IMPALA and MEW – with a unique twist, of course. Now the band is in the roster of Svart Records and they will be releasing a new selection of sonic incantations entitled ”Polysomn” on 11 September 2020. KAIRON IRSE! was formed in 2009 by four inner-space travelers and in 2014, their album “Ujubasajuba” set Bandcamp on fire. I’m talking about psychedelic music that worms its way into your head and pushes you off this plane of reality – pure stream of consciousness stuff, that is. I’d like to stress that by “surreal” I do not mean the type of underground rock that’s predominantly weird, but rather something unusual and fascinating, mind-bending even. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.” This sounds to me like something that music would be well-suited to achieve in general, and the Finnish astral magicians, KAIRON IRSE!, are just the right bunch to evoke a particularly surreal response. One version of the Surrealist Manifesto reads something like this: “Surrealism is pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought.
