King Khan and The Shrines - Darkness
Though often called the "wildest show on earth" and known for their spectacle of a stage show, King Khan & The Shrines
aren't afraid to mix their velvety pop and soul-infused, psyched-out
numbers with meaning and seriousness evident through album title, Idle No More, named after an indigenous-rights movement, and plenty of songs about the state of the world we live in today. Consider album track, "Darkness,"
which, as King Khan says, is about the "ugly beasts that must be tamed
inside of us all" and also his "attempt to do something as real as Nina
Simone."
