Details:
"…over the past year or so, the instrumental quartet Kuan has emerged as one of the most engaging live acts currently working in Dayton. With a relentless drive and a keen mastery of dynamic shifts, mood, and texture, Kuan bridges the chasms between jazz, post-rock, and math-rock and the results are breathtaking. Kuan oozes copious riffage, shape-shifting rhythms, and a fearless command of spaces both delicate and bombastic. Their live show is an experience not to be missed."
-The Buddha Den
".....and their music builds slowly, churns madly and leaves a lingering peaceful but haunting feeling — like you''ve just been abducted, abused and let go, man. It sounds like actual psychedelic wild-man rock from Jupiter."
-Fairfield Weekly, Danbury, CT
"Imagine yourself stuck in a decaying city enveloped by broken glass and burned out buildings but amidst all that squalor, a bewilderingly joyous soundtrack is heard and you can’t help but dance your way into destruction. That’s quite possibly the best way to describe Kuan’s sound to neophytes, despite concerns of how everything might fall apart at any minute, the wicked intuition from the technically astute musicians creates aural bacchanalia for anyone who listens to them."
-Power of Pop
"In other words, it rocks… heavily, loudly, and with no boundaries. Yes, Kuan is a band you listen to with the volume up high, headphones on tight, and eyes lightly closed....This band has that something, whatever it is, and it’s damn good."
-Fensepost
"Here is a band who couldn’t have a dull moment if they tried." "Kuan’s music is a culmination of jazz, post-rock, and math-rock influences creating complex and often bizarre soundscapes solely with guitars and drums. In a world gone mad on synthetic beats and thick electronic riffs, Kuan are a fresh look at what is possible without over saturation."
-Mxdwn
"Kuan seem to be able to jam out in an improvisational fashion, however seem just as interested in piecing together a nice hook or melody as well. It all just kind of makes you feel good, which is odd to say…but it really does put me in a better mood."
-Built on a Weak Spot
