Freak Kitchen Video for “Freak of the Week” Streaming Now + New Album Out Now!
Swedish trio Freak Kitchen ~ Mattias IA Eklundh, vocals, guitar, Christer Ortefors, bass, vocals, Bjorn Fryklund, drums ~ are back with Cooking with Pagans, their eighth and most frantic album to date. The album was released on September 16th via Laser’s Edge and can be ordered here.
Thanks to a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in almost $150,000, a very ambitious animated video directed by legendary artist (and author of Blacksad) Juanjo Guarnido for the track “Freak of the Week” has finally been completed by a world-class team of animators. The video premiered at the New York Comic Con and you can watch it here.
Freak Kitchen has always been a tremendously respected live act and for the first time the energetic live vibe of Freak Kitchen has been captured in the studio. With influences ranging from AC/DC to classical South Indian music, the three Norsemen, led by guitar virtuoso Mattias IA Eklundh, have a sound that is truly their own. Cooking with Pagans offers eleven intense original songs plus a sophisticated punk pop version of the 1936 hit “Goody Goody” like you’ve never heard it before. The album showcases solid, inspired song writing (and needless to day, playing) from start to finish.
Freak Kitchen will tour the world from November and the better part of 2015 to support their new release.
