Just good news here. I haven’t been so stoked on Majestic Mountain Records picking up a Swedish jam-based heavy psychedelic rock band since… well, probably since they signed CB3 last year. So not all that long, but still. If you’ve kept up on the languid, sometimes-crab-inspired organic psych proffered by Kungens Män, most recently as part of Worst Bassist Records‘ International Space Station Vol. I (review here) four-way split last Fall, you don’t need me to justify the ‘good news’ designation above. And yes, I hear that in Prof. Farnsworth’s voice. Of course.

I’ll look forward to both parts of För samtida djur The first piece of which will arrive in February, the second in May. Tight schedule. If it’s February and September, I’ll still take it. Time matters way less if the jams are right.

From the label via the PR wire:

Kungens Män signs to Majestic Mountain

Imagine for a moment if you will, a lush and verdant world where the senses are completely captivated by vibrations of melody. Reverberating through the psyche with intoxicatingly jubilant, electric pulsation and entrancing bliss uninhibited, a complete soul rapture in the form of literal, rhythmic poetry. Well, Majestic people, we’re about to take you there.

It has always been the goal of MMR to release music that has an “otherness” about it, a quality of inimitable magic, sometimes not tangibly quantifiable but instead, felt in the gut; ultimately pulling at the heart. This signing is exactly that philosophy in its essence. For a very long time we have been ecstatically awaiting the time when we could make today’s announcement and that time has finally arrived.

Please ready yourselves for transportation to a completely different star system with Kungens Män joining the Majestic Mountain Records constellation for an incredible release in two parts. A full sonic immersion, exploration, and expression of life itself via organically explorative mastery ✨(#129680#)

“In February 2024, the first part of “För samtida djur” (For Contemporary Animals) will be released. The album consists of eight songs of Kungens Män in our most condensed form, yet with a great degree of variation and some soundscapes previously unheard in our improvised world. The second part which comes out in May, is a more classic Kungens Män collection, with long, sprawling songs that are invitations to inner and outer space. The music has been recorded over the last two years in between tours of Europe and UK. These twin albums also mark our first cooperation with Swedish label, Majestic Mountain Records. A label built on love for the music and a supplier of high-quality vinyl with an emphasis on psych, doom, and stoner.”

Majestic Mountain Records is not only delighted but hounroued to be bringing you the next chapter in the evolution of the Kungens Män saga and their legendarily groovy, deeply trippy, and funky, free-form psychedelia.

Please give them a follow if you are not already. More information will follow soon so keep an eye out regarding these monumental explorations into the art of sound.
