KEN mode has released their new single, “He Was A Good Man, He Was A Taxpayer“. The song can be heard below and will be featured on the band’s upcoming full-length, Void, which is set to release through Artoffact Records on September 22nd.
Jesse Matthewsong, the band’s vocalist/guitarist, offered the following on the song:
“Perhaps a little more post-punk than people are used to hearing us – but we had fun playing with synth and pushing the boundaries of the emotionality of this track. Is this noise goth? I don’t know. Does that sound stupid? Did I just invent a new genre? There are equal parts Bauhaus and Unsane on this, so maybe?”
The song title came from Jesse and his brother and bandmate, the band’s drummer, Shane Matthewson‘s employment history in business and accounting
