"Chaines’ willingness to take relatively ordinary musical tropes and de-familiarise them through unusual juxtapositions, polyrhythms, and generous dollops of noise is perhaps what makes their music so unsettling and yet so compelling — it wouldn’t sound so strange if you hadn’t heard elements of it before. In this sense, the David Lynch tribute that closes “The King” is entirely apt. This is music that some will love and some will hate, and for exactly the same reasons — but in an age of exhausted ideas and recycled nostalgia, how good it is to hear something so strikingly original, provocative, and bold."
