list by Valerie

In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster is Shining's third album and their first for Rune Grammofon (Norway), marking a somewhat distinct change of direction. While their previous offerings could easily be categorised as jazz, their new album is a much more varied affair that has more in common with progressive art rock, going from heavy, complex riffing to subtle and lyrical passages. For the first time they use a number of guitars, vintage keyboards, horns and percussion instruments. Shining is a Jaga Jazzist offshoot with two former members/writers in their ranks. 2005.
