Table of Contents
If the band name "King Khan and the Shrines" evokes memories of classic garage rock groups of the '60s, that's probably what the band intends with the moniker. The Vice-signed band plays a down and dirty, soul-inflected version of old-school rock 'n roll. One reason the band makes a whole lotta noise: it weighs in at a dozen members, complete with a horn section. Supreme Genius isn't an album of new material; these sixteen songs have been available elsewhere in harder-to-find incarnations. Here they are accompanied by liner notes by Jared Swilley of the Black Lips, a band that shares a raucous sound and label home with King Khan and the Shrines.
