Though I whiffed on reviewing it at the time — typical; I’ll close a week with it at some point and I never claimed to be relevant — Khan‘s 2023 offering, Creatures, was a landmark realization from the trio. A rousing, hyperbole-laced reception heralding a new voice in heavy psychedelia, weighted, lush, and their own. Pretty much the ideal.

They’ve been on tour since — apart from the time they’ve spent making their impending, yet-untitled fourth album, due out Oct. 1, anyhow — in Australia and Europe. And I think I read they moved to Berlin? Did I make that up? Or somewhere in Germany? I could’ve sworn I saw that, but I’m not 100 percent, so don’t take it as fact. Either way, they’re back on the road in Europe next month, starting Aug. 1 at Krach am Bach and making their way to Hoflärm, with a bonus gig at Merleyn in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, after. You might recall Temple Fang made a live record there one time.

Khan‘s announcement of the album was light on details, to put it mildly. Presumably things like recording info, art, tracks, maybe some blah-blah PR background, let alone a single, will come when the preorders start, but they put up a video with a pretty melody and an immediate sense of instrumental fluidity, and a minute of new Khan music might just be the coolest thing that happens today.

Have at it:
