    This, their literally titled second, is equally arresting [as their debut]. [Apr 2013, p.94]

    One for the long drive ahead as you watch the white lines get consumed by the night.

    What K-X-P are dealing in is label-less music; complex, iron-gripping sounds delivered with towering bombast. It should be a mess. It should be unlistenable. But it’s not--it’s extraordinary.

    It's thanks to these big highlights that II becomes a record you walk away from only remembering the best parts, as they largely overshadow all else.

    K-X-P II is much more than an experiment in tinkering with vintage instruments and influences. The balance of a big, yet primitive sound is ripe for filtering south beyond the confines of the world’s second most northern capital.
