Description

Chikinki - The Balloon Factory (B-Sides & Rarities)

After the release of their critically acclaimed Island Records debut ‘ Lick Your Ticket’ (2004), and a period spent conquering Europe, Chikinki are about to return as the rock group they were always meant to be. Indie Rock is over used in categorising bands with guitars. Chikinki, however, are indie rockers in the truest sense. Deeply rooted indie origins and ethics, yet Chikinki aren’t ashamed to rock out with the best of them with their huge choruses and epic synths. This limited edition B-Sides and rarities album, originally produced as a fan only item, showcases the songs that many have not heard from a band who are not afraid to experiment

Reviews

ADULT CONTEMPORARY - NOVEMBER 2005

2003's Chikinki album Assassinator 13 revealed a band who were capable of melding everything that was great about Kraftwerk with a rock focus that owed almost nothing to the backwards-looking metal on display everywhere else. Like Kings of Leon mixed with a 2005 New Order, its freshness is still almost shocking and rewarding two years on. To ensure a good drip of material to their fans, the Bristol-based band have re-released their original album Experiment With Mother and a new album of b-sides and rarities via their website at chikinki.co.uk. Thank goodness they care, as the world needs more of this ambition. The UK should celebrate the pioneering spirit and art on these discs: there is incisive wit, remarkable musicianship and more. If Pink Floyd had kept up to date, they might have sounded something like this.
