There are very few bands who truly baffle. Who confuse and confound, both musically and conceptually. Sure, plenty of bands are weird, or strange, or hard to describe. Some might even be described as fucked up or damaged, but very very few truly baffle. Hans Grüsel's Kränkenkabinet is most definitely one of those bafflingly confusional elite. . .Hans Grüsel and his Kränkenkabinet create a bizarre cacophony of sound. Theatrical, dramatic, noisy for sure, but weirdly melodic and playful and more than anything, confounding. A brain melting chunk of avant "what-the-fuck?" Weird and wonderfully damaged. It's not so much like staring into a funhouse mirror, it's more like smashing your head against it over and over and over until it shatters and you can finally see and hear exactly what strange things exist on the other side.
Had to remove some, sorry.
