Killbody Tuning shared new song "Our DNA"

About 4 years after their second full-length KBT are about to release a third album called 'Pictorial' and coming out on November 16th for CD, LP & Digital editions through Hummus Records (Coilguns, Emilie Zoé, H E X, Ølten...).

In the meantime, the band just shared a first audio excerpt from this record with "Our DNA" available on Bandcamp.

The song makes use of the double harmonic minor scale, the one that musicians from the Western world always go to when they want to make a melody sound ‘exotic or ‘Arabian’. Killbody Tuning split it into three parts. The two ‘bookends’ sound similar, though the second one starts with a punkier feel. The middle part delights listeners with a mass of feedbacky noise that the band managed to record in one take. They were as wise in keeping the take as they were wise to include it in the first place.

Do not adjust your computer. “Our DNA” really ends like that.

Some background might explain this song a little better. Killbody Tuningdescribe “Our DNA” as the ‘second part of the third track of Pictoral’. Given that the track listing (below) consists of eight songs and “Our DNA” is the seventh and that all three of the last songs begin with the word ‘Our’, we can see how the tracks are grouped into longer epic-ish songs in the 70s prog tradition.

..For the record...

Emotional, contemplative and epic, the music of Killbody Tuning is a world of instrumental soundscapes shaped by ambient, rock and post-rock.

Since taking off in 2005, the band has always tried to depart from the conventional forms of rock. After their warmly received debut EP, 'The French Hunter' (2008), Killbody Tuning have delved into different artistic projects.

In 2009, the band arranged several songs by for the play Clinique de la Raison Close, and one year after this first successful experience, KBT wrote the score for “Dernière Chasse”, a short film directed by the young Swiss filmmaker Julien Humbert-Droz. In order to develop this new project in an innovative way, the band composed new instrumental pieces out of the movie soundtrack. This creative process gave birth to Killbody Tuning’s new album, '470'40.00"N/642'20.00"E', which received positive and enthusiastic reviews throughout Europe.

After touring Switzerland and France in 2011 and 2012, Killbody Tuning spent a whole year writing and rearranging new pieces under the careful guidance of Julien Fehlmann (The Ocean, Coilguns, ...). Recorded live and released on Hummus Records (Coilguns, The Fawn, Louis Jucker, Red Kunz, ...) 'Hello! Welcome, so far...' (2014).
