You can get a brief taste of the new album by listening to “Bad Skin,” a notable, quasi hardcore/GG Allin esque departure from the group’s familiar, girl group, garage pop style. I’m intrigued to say the least.

King Khan & The Shrines – “Born to Die”/ Tour Dates/Boston – 10/29!

King-Khan-And-The-Shrines-Idle-No-More-608x608
Damn, it seems like every day we’re discovering something new about our honorary KLYAMER King Khan and his Sensational Shrines. Well, today the gospel is this: “Born to Die” is here for your listening pleasure and it is the opening track off of King Khan & The Shrines’ forthcoming album Idle No More (out 9/3 on Merge).

Hearing the scandalous, sweaty, but infinitely wise words of the Shrines is not enough. Oh no, you must witness the supreme genius in the flesh…
