The mysterious Florida duo known as King Complex have built a reputation for their masked stage performances (not for hygienic reasons) and their ability to effortlessly morph into a completely different band from song to song. In recent years their sound has evolved into what is now a very lush and somewhat psychedelic sound, with a bit of a Pet Sounds on mushrooms feel to it. Their new single “If There’s Beauty” perfectly alludes to the vibe of the record, filled with angelic vocals, retro reverb and lush strings. Coming off the success of their (very different) record “Dark Disco”, which racked up over a million streams on Spotify, the duo decided to pivot in a different direction to showcase their songwriting and production chops. In the efforts to explore the acoustic side of music, the duo cranked out the keys and vocals for this track in just thirty minutes before committing to a final […]

At the intersection of music and history, Devin Knight uses his current project Maneka to address questions about racism in America. His new LP ”Dark Matters”, out this week on Skeletal Lightning, was inspired by binge watching documentaries on dark matter in space. Knight draws a correlation between the history of race issues in America and the scientific concept. In his own words: With dark matter, it’s there but it’s not. Just like our history with race; a lot of people are aware of its existence, but you can’t touch it. You can’t smell it. But it’s among us. America has this really dark energy. How has it been this fucked up for this long and no one’s done anything about it? As a black man creating music in a genre where he isn’t widely represented, Knight continues to establish his brand and unique sound within the space. He continues: I wanted to introduce […]
