CHAIN AND THE GANG

Then God Is 7
Ian Svenonius, of 
Make Up and Nation of Ulysses fame, is against freedom as we know it and its consequences in his new project Chain and the Gang. He blames freedom for some of the diseases of the world these days: fast food, materialism or environmental destruction and proposes a back to prohibitions, restrictions and chains. I hope everything has an ironic see-through and not a fascist background but, after listening to their songs and reading the press note on their myspace, no doubt everything is a big joke and a criticism to modern society at the same time. And to do so, he recruits a super band of collaborations via K Records, one of the most enigmatic labels of all times, including people like Calvin Johnson, Karl Blau and members from Dub Narcotic Sound System or The Vibrarians between others. And their sound is varied but cohesive mixing influences from classic rock and soul to arty post punk, everything very minimalistic and with preference for a live sound. Their first album, Down with Liberty...Up with Chains, has just been released in K Records.
"DOWN WITH LIBERTY … UP WITH CHAINS! YEH YEH … SAY IT AGAIN … PUT THOSE HANDCUFFS ON MY HANDS!"
