In their hometown of Seattle, Chris Martin, Lucy Atkinson, and Matthew Reid-Schwartz of the lysergic-punk band Kinski often play out incognito. Under the guise Herzog, they experiment with mood, sound construction, and interplay by channeling their chemistry into an exploration of their "cosmic" side. These entirely improvised sets have yielded some truly heady excursions into the sonic ether. "Don't Climb On and Take the Holy Water" is a snapshot of these experiments, culled from live, practice, and studio sessions. Using bass, guitar, synthesizers, bells, and effects-saturated flute, the players improvise a heady sonic drama which supplants the typical rock instrumentation into realms of cosmic/ambient, electronic, minimalism, and film-score imagery.
