Kirin J. Callinan returns with the brand new 7" single "W II W" (Way to War). Taken from his forthcoming full length album, "W II W" launches with an amazing gif-laden video by acclaimed director Kris Moyes. "W II W" may be a synesthetic joyride to the frontline voice, guitar, and other machines painting the sonic image of war. All napalm, machine guns and loneliness, choppers and tracer bullets; you could be running for your life or gasping for your last breath. It"s perverted, raw and fun, and it"s the first single from Kirin J. Callinan s forthcoming debut solo album. "W II W" and its accompanying B-sides "Thighs" - the thematically related, lustful and deluded tale of sexual predator will be released on 7" vinyl on July 31st. "W II W" succeeds Kirin"s critically acclaimed 7" EP "She", described as a slow-burning desert love song, all tumbleweed and condemned, rusted perol stations (Mess+Noise); a handful of split cassette and flexi-disk releases with industrial minimal synth duo Forces; and Jack Ladder and the Dreamlanders" 2012 Australian Music Prize nominated and critically confused album "Hurtsville". Early one morning, some months ago, Kirin half awoke, laughing aloud, recalling a scene from a dream or astral projection he had just been enjoying. "I had been sitting round a small table, a tacky red and white checkered tablecloth draped over it. I was accompanied by two men. One of them was Chris Taylor, of Grizzly Bear fame, whom I had recently met when he was in Australia. The other man was, at the time, unrecognizable and unknown to me, though would, in time, reveal himself to be Ethan Silverman of Terrible Records, Chris label buddy, who I had never met. Sitting there together, we were all mispronouncing the names of the mostly French meals on the gourmet menu: Cock-Au-Vin , Bull-A-Baise , Rat-A-Touile , Es-Car-Gots . I decided we should keep it simple. We ordered one Kraft Single each, and it was delicious. Coming to my senses, 5:23 am, I knew what I had to do. I had to craft a single for Terrible Records."
