***K/S/R (Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith & Justin Rhody) have been performing and recording together since 2022. Recorded by the band themselves during a full week of day-long sessions—violin, percussion, lap steel, accordion, flute, guitar, harmonica, and rhodes piano were each stretched, damaged & made to sing through various extended techniques. The trio's non-concentric approach to collective improvisation mirrors the dark harmonic density and symbiotic formal structures of the cosmos. Industrial work zones are also a major inspiration. K/S/R are the co-founders No Name Cinema (an underground microcinema in Santa Fe New Mexico). The trio has previously performed and/or lectured at ATA Gallery (San Francisco), Highlands University (Las Vegas), University of New Mexico (Albuquerque), Shapeshifters (Oakland), the Firehouse (Joshua Tree), and the Light Matter Experimental Festival (Alfred University, NY). Their music has been featured on the legendary Coast to Coast AM radio program and experimental/jazz-focused community radio shows across three continents. The group will be touring in Northeast and Southwest USA (November 2025) and in the UK (England & Scotland), April 2026. Already In Heaven will be followed by a split LP with Nihilist Spasm Band (also co-released by Physical & Gilgongo Records) in March 2026. Edition of 100 copies.
LP $24.25
