Kairon; IRSE! (mem Oranssi Pazuzu) releasing new LP (stream "Starik")

Early next year, Finland’s Kairon; IRSE! are planning to release a new album, Ruination, which was produced by Oranssi Pazuzu frontman Juho Vanhanen. (Kairon’s Niko Lehdontie also plays guitar in Oranssi Pazuzu’s live lineup.) The album’s new single “Starik,” which premieres in this post, is wacky prog that sounds like early King Crimson mixed with Ornette Coleman-style sax freakouts, and the seven and a half minute song even brings in some jazz fusion at the end without getting corny. It’s quite a song, and you can check it out below.

The album comes out February 3 via Svart Records, and that same day, Svart will give the first-ever phsyical release to Kairon’s 2014 debut album Ujubasajuba.
