Iron Jinn Announce Debut Album Release Show at Roadburn 2023; New Single Posted
Listen to the two singles back to back and you can hear some of the differing sides of Iron Jinn‘s makeup coming forward, between psychedelia and some more urgent push. The Amsterdam-based four-piece, which boasts Oeds Beydals on guitar — see also Death Alley, Molassess, The Devil’s Blood, etc. — will release their self-titled debut full-length through Stickman Records this April, playing a release show at, where else?, Roadburn Festival, where Beydals and Wout Kemkens (also Birth of Joy) first came together, then under the moniker of Iron Chin, in 2018.
Neat, right? New song, release show, things happening. Cool. You’ll also note the part below at the end where it mentions ever so casually that members of Iron Jinn (all or some, I don’t know) will pull double-duty this coming Fall, touring with and playing in the backing band for Alain Johannes. That is a show I would like very much to see. Johannes has promised a career-spanning set, if such a thing is even possible in a single night, and I feel like only good things can come from these two parties meeting and working together over a stretch of dates.
The PR wire takes it from there:
IRON JINN (feat. members of The Devil’s Blood, Death Alley & more!) announce Roadburn record release & share new single “Winding World”!
Years after debuting at Roadburn 2018 as a European counterpoint for the San Diego-Takeover, Iron Jinn, featuring members of The Devil’s Blood, Death Alley, Shaking Godspeed and Birth Of Joy, comes full circle with a release party at Roadburn 2023!
Iron Jinn will be released on April 21, 2023 coinciding with the band’s appearance at the festival. A limited Roadburn edition of the vinyl will be available exclusively there and in the Stickman Records webshop.
You can get a taste of their woozy rock’n’roll on debut single Soft Healers, and get swept along with the tide on Winding World – their brand new track released today to coincide with this very announcement. Listen to Winding World now!
Says guitarist/singer Wout Kemkens of the new single:
”Winding World is like a sonic action painting to me; the parade of seemingly unrelated images/happenings that pass by during the song is an ode to the fact that everything is constantly changing, which is maddening, but beautiful. I always loved Louis Armstrong’s ‘Wonderful World’ and for me ‘Winding World’ feels related, but as a hectic 21st century version. A stroll in this particular moment of time, and really feeling and seeing what is happening, such a day.”
Ever since we came off stage at Roadburn 2018 as the one off Iron Chin project, I always wondered what would happen if Wout Kemkens and I would share writing duties equally and develop an actual band,” Oeds says, “By circumstances beyond our control we suddenly had the time to make it happen and Iron Jinn quickly developed a mind of its own. To be able to present it where the first seeds were sown makes it all the more special.
The Amsterdam-based band has also announced a slew of live dates celebrating the record, as well as an upcoming tour with Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures). Not only will Iron Jinn be directly supporting Johannes on the tour, but also playing in his live band. Dates have not been made public yet, but the tour is slated for September/October of this year.
