More information about Success

Canadian post-hardcore outfit KEN mode have premiered a music video for the track “Failing at Fun since 1981”, taken off their latest album, ‘Success’ which can still be ordered here. The video by director David Hall (MISERY INDEX, SKUGGSJÁ, TODAY IS THE DAY, and more) is streaming exclusively at Decibel Magazine.

Regarding the video, KEN mode comment : “We teamed up with the maniac David Hall to create the ultimate corporate statement. I am not sure either of us really know what we are doing anymore. At least we are having fun with it; or not.”

KEN mode recorded ‘Success’ with legendary engineer Steve Albini (NIRVANA, THE JESUS LIZARD, PJ HARVEY) to capture the material in a fully live and analogue session in the band’s hometown in November 2014. This set-up brought to fruition the most raw, rock and roll sound this band has ever put forth. The cover and tracklist are shown below.
