War with the Devil EP

TRUTH’s signees to its Deep, Dark & Dangerous label are often emblematic of the ethos and aesthetic of the brand, but none so much as the latest EP from Canada’s Konka. War with the Devil is a delightfully evil EP, and today’s premiere, the 5-track collection’s opener, epitomizes the staggeringly murky sound heard throughout the release. “Annix” is a steamy and swampy stomper with such gorgeous production it’s no wonder its producer has become such a Shambhala fave. Where some might tone it down for public consumption, Konka goes to 11 on darkness and really consumes the speakers fully with a brilliant sound that is as addictive as it is hypnotic. The rest of the EP is brilliant.
