Fuzz guitars, homemade synths, monolithic drums and bamboo flutes beam in from a parallel universe where the ancient past collides with the far-out future. Touring New Zealand for the first time, Auckland solo instrumentalist Kraus collapses space and time with a combination of psychedelic noise rock, freakish analogue electronics, and a wide range of exotic weirdness from Renaissance lute ballads to wiry Far-Eastern strings. The new Kraus album “Interior Castle” will be released on 12 September by Moniker Records (Chicago, USA).
