About this concert
Unlimited Sonic Use presents:
Kanaan - NOR | Jansen Records
https://kanaanband.bandcamp.com/
Genre: Fuzzy Psychedelic Jazz Rock
FFO: Mythic Sunships, Motorpsycho, Fu Manchu
TICKETS: https://www.tixforgigs.com/Event/66769
Kanaan emerges from an ocean of fuzz like a Kyuss that went to jazz school. The three prolific young musicians are seemingly everywhere on the Norwegian music scene these days, as members of Daufødt, Blodkvalt, Sex Magick Wizards and ¡BangBang Watergun!. A diverse selection of bands that display the aptitude of the players, as well as their eclectic musical influences. Kanaan's albums vary from jazzy, psychedelic explorations with forays into kraut and free improvisation to super heavy stoner rock. Inspired by bands such as Colour Haze, Sleep, Elder, Motorpsycho and Acid Mothers Temple. Although never flashy, the wild and free-flowing talent within the three musicians is always on display as they plow their way through enormous riffs and thunderous grooves.
Kanaan never rests. They have released eight albums since their debut in 2018.
Newmaker - GER
https://newmaker.bandcamp.com
Genre: Experimental Noise Math Rock
FFO: Shellac, Don Caballero, Deerhoof
NEWMAKER ist ein Fortbewegungsmittel für die außerplanetaren Sphären der Musik. Der Raum zwischen den bewohnten Welten. Staub, Hitze und Kälte - schöne Nebel und tödliche Strahlung. Leeres Nichts und doch Behältnis von Allem. NEWMAKER ist zur Erkundung dieses Weltraums gedacht.
Aus melodischen Wrackteilen, rhythmischen Trümmern und wackeligen Prototypen bauen Torsten Lang, Falk Meutzner und Nils Weishaupt wendige und widerstandsfähige Kapseln, um sich immer wieder neu auf die Suche nach der ominösen Essenz zu begeben, von der sie wissen dass sie sie bereits in sich tragen und, die in Worte zu fassen überflüssig ist. Auf der unvorhersehbaren Route von Planet zu Planet wird das Chaos zum bewohnbaren Raum und das Vehikel zur Erkundung wird zur Erkundung selbst. Ihr Debut Album Tidal Lock erscheint am 2. Mai 2025.

Kanaan Biography
Kanaan produce so much music that their fuzz pedals are hardly switched off between each practice session. Once again, the young power trio now step out of the rehearsal room, and with them in tow is the brand new album Downpour.
It’s not difficult to hear that this is a continuation of their last album, Earthbound. Indeed, many of the ideas on Downpour came about when they recorded their previous record in Athletic Sound in Halden, where Downpour was also recorded. The heaviest songs on the album are a continuation of the idea of "The Great riff" and the feeling of triumphant ecstasy when one good riff is replaced by another. Bands like Kyuss, MC5, Sleep and Hawkwind are still great sources of inspiration – while Needlepoint and Dungen are also important markers for the more melodic material on the album.
You truly have to hold tight and not fall out of your chair when Kanaan blast out the monster riffs on songs like "Orbit", "Solaris pt. 2" and not least "Amazon", where they are joined by one of Norway's most kick-ass guitarists, Hedvig Mollestad. All three members of the band have long been fans of Mollestad and her music, and the fact that she is on their record is a dream come true.
The band themselves say they feel that the chemistry and songwriting on this record, to a greater extent, allows them to really own the rock language that they flirted with on Earthbound, and it feels like a worthy sequel to a record that has since become very important in the band’s history. It’s hard not to agree with that.
Since Kanaan released their fourth album Earthbound on Jansen Records in November 2021, they’ve also managed to release the 27-minute long single "Beyond" and the session album Diversions vol. 1 – Softly through Sunshine, before they now release Downpour. There are no days off in the calendars of Eskild Myrvoll, Ingvald André Vassbø and Ask Vatn Strøm.
