muschiosauro An unpredictable, psychedelic ride fueled by inspired improvisation, where the band always manages to strike the right balance between indulgence and restraint. Every track is different, but they all blend wonderfully together in an album that sounds hypnotic and dynamic at the same time. Chickns are quite intrstng creatures indeed. Favorite track: Aleppo / Jam.

CHICKN Tribe 04:43
Men are dead men are gone but some chicken carried on. Greedy birds that can't fly through their living learned to die If they find you and you try to get away or disobey, they're gonna love you
2.
Omens 06:37
I blink my eyes to enclose the weather that as it comes for sure it'll go and as a fragile lightweight feather I'll forget all the things I saw
3.
Aleppo / Jam 06:51
If I could reach the towering sky I'd spread my wings and fly without to say goodbye to my old life I'd try to find a better home and build a comfort zone that it will not be blown away I'd try to stay Till then I rest with my mouth sewn embracing the unknown they think I'm just a bone into a hunger game they think I'm tame If they keep stepping on my paws I'll pull my giant claws I'll feed them to my jaws because I have a cause
4.
Whilst my life is full of sorrow and my joy is full of tears though there's no love for tomorrow and no eager volunteers I will burn my old leftovers to be sure the spring will come I will keep it on my shoulders and I pray to overcome Apologies now do mean nothing and it's a long time since I swooned my compunction won't stop gushing so I'll crawl up to lick my wounds
5.
Rhy is a girl that never has been to all those places that do lie within patterns and caverns and deep rabbit holes darkling dimmed regions that no one controls Don't worry Rhy and stand by my side into this weather together we glide from highest tides to the lowest of ebbs the seed has been planted deep into our heads
6.
Every day mourns its fucking past and all together fall and crush my life I've never really thought of what to ask or how I'm going to end this burning stiff Forget Regret Upset As yet There are no money passing from my hands and all the things I hear have no import I have a constant fear that withstands that soon enough I'm going to fall short
7.
Articulation 04:16
The blossoms often wither (and will continue to do so) until we invent a language that hangmen do not speak Pain has the right to be expressed with a voice that can pass through speechlessness An articulation (a joint between bodies and sentences) When you want to speak for the colour of the sea bed but the surface hinders Swatter the precipitate and see how that will help Until all the dissonant voices reach a pharyngeal consonant until we reach the realm of the pure sound ooh ooooooh don't you weep! I've lived more than I'm able to express
8.
Whilst my life is full of sorrow and my joy is full of tears though there's no love for tomorrow and no eager volunteers I will burn my old leftovers to be sure the spring will come I will keep it on my shoulders and I pray to overcome Apologies now do mean nothing and it's a long time since I swooned my compunction won't stop gushing so I'll crawl up to lick my wounds
9.
10.
I met her underwater in the deepest secret sea she took me for a ride she had something to hide it's the shifting time blues The sweetness in her water the bitters in her tears she hanged out with others a million of lovers It's the shifting time blues The days are ying over my burden goes away and even if I don't think of Mary my bones won't stop been oh so weary from the shifting time blues Raunchy girl, weep beguiled

MEN ARE DEAD
MEN ARE GONE
BUT SOME CHICKN CARRIED ON
Chickn’s self-titled debut album is finally out! This is a radio zapping on a 68-minute car drive. This is a field unfolding in front of your very eyes and at the same time a call of wandering. This is an attempt of some people to invent themselves through playing. This is Jetztzeit rock. A sound conceived as jump in the free sky of history.

The album was composed by the Athens-based trio in Athens and Valencia from fragments of many years during the period 2014-2015. It was recorded from July to October 2015 in Sonic Playground Studio and in Iraklis Vlachakis’ home in Athens. The album was produced by Chickn and Nikos Triantafyllou and it was mastered by Alan Douches in West West Side Studios in New York.

Chickn are:
Angelos Krallis, Evangelos Aslanides, Pantelis Karasevdas

Personnel appearing on this album:
Sir Kosmiche (bass), Konstantinos Protopappas (electric guitar), Haris Neilas (darbuka, congas, cowbell), Andreas Kiltsiksis (oud, amanes), Prins Obi (additional synths, additional vocals), King Elephant (saxophone), Nikos Triantafyllou & Iraklis Vlachakis (engineering)

CHICKN Athens, Greece

CHICKN is a rock band formed during the Christmas holidays of 2012 in Athens, Greece. It's a shape that evolves in time, occupying its necessary vital and expressive space while denying any prediction. It's a game, or at least it always starts as a game. ... more
