Album review by Astronaut

A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen is the debut album of the homonym band from Belgium that consists of Craig Ward,  Bootsie  Butsenzeller and Zahnoun Ben Younes. This skillful trio is blending random amounts of progressive, experimental, math, noise, in a very awkward but surprisingly interesting way. The album contains eight tracks of randomly distributed progressive dirt that bathing may be necessary after listening to it, as the band aptly describes itself. The filthiness of the guitars accompanied with raw bass lines in tracks like “Safety Shot” or the insane “Pigeon Song” is one of their major characteristics of the band that seem to come out so naturally as they create them. Of course it is not an album that addresses to the majority of the audience because the chaotic complexity in ACKIAHK’s compositions cannot be tolerated by everyone. Personally I found the album really interesting and I strongly recommend that if you are pleased by dirty-styled progressive then this is an piece of work that will enthuse you. Overall ACKIAHK will become a perfect friend of you given that you are a little bit psycho or you meet the basic requirements in order to be one.
