Kinski

Kinski of Waywords and MeansignsKinski is a four-piece rock band from Seattle, WA. The band follows their instincts to explore pathways from visceral guitar rock, to sonic and heady avant-psych rock, and sparse, atmosphere-bending instrumentals. NME has described Kinski as: “Like Sabbath in a washing machine during a power surge”. Comprised of guitarists Chris Martin and Matthew Reid-Schwartz (Matthew also plays keyboards and flute), bassist Lucy Atkinson, and drummer Barrett Wilke, Kinski has toured with Mission of Burma, Comets on Fire, Oneida, Mono, Black Mountain, Acid Mothers Temple, and opened a month of dates for Tool on their spring ’07 tour.

Kinski is also featured on the Fire Records celebration of James Joyce’s Chamber Music. 

Kinski contributed to the Opendoor Edition of Waywords and Meansigns in 2017, recording page 322 line 1 through page 323 line 24.
