Emerging from Kingston, NY, King In Yellow presents "Love Supreme," a track that doesn't ask for attention but owns it straight up. This anthem feels like a walk through one of those foggy, possibly haunted Upstate woods, mysterious, soulful, inescapable.
On "Love Supreme," King In Yellow further develops and hones its sound, compositions, and unique vision of dark rock. The song is a fluid blend of post-punk's urgency and raggedness, with an ethereal, almost otherworldly sheen, resulting in a soundscape that simultaneously sounds familiar and forward-thinking. It's an unusual register gritty yet graceful, ominous yet also somewhat comforting. The band thoroughly channels lyrical mysticism, inviting listeners into a temple that is at once intimate and immense. From the start, a propulsive rhythm underpins you, a heartbeat beneath waves of glistening guitars and moody atmospherics. Vocals hang like a ghost above the mix, issuing lines that hint at love as something beyond an emote, love as a force of nature, strong and invasive and total. As the track pushes and pulls, swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms coalesce into an immersive experience that's equally transcendent.
"Love Supreme" isn't a spontaneous record, it has a quality as if it were made to be the soundtrack to a climactic scene in a neo-noir film or a late-night drive through rain-slicked streets. It's the sort of song that stays with you long after the last note has faded away.
