Kung Fu Jesus Releases Catchy and Uplifting Album, The Kantele Tapes

Kung Fu Jesus-Kantele Tapes

Scotland based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kung Fu Jesus packs a powerful, infectious, classic-feeling rock and roll punch on his new album The Kantele Tapes.

Beach Boys, Iggy Pop, and The Cure with a modern twist all wrapped into one?! Yes, Kung Fu Jesus packs that potent of a sonic punch.

You will find your spirits lifted, your body moving uncontrollably, and your voice repeating lyrics without a second thought after you spend time listening to these 10 refreshingly jammin’ tracks.

The pop appealling surf vibes of The Beach Boys collide head on with the raw attitude of Iggy Pop, the cult like enchantment of The Cure, and the profound lyrical depth of songwriters such as Bob Dylan to create a stimulating, contagious, well produced wall of sound listeners from every corner of Planet Earth need to experience.

And Kung Fu Jesus is a one man show. That’s right! He wrote, played and recorded everything himself!

Sometimes words just won’t do. Kung Fu Jesus is something you feel well beyond the aural stimulation created by sound waves. It is the manifestation of fantastic frequencies emanating from one very talented creative soul.

Each of the ten songs are solid enough to stand on their own as singles but also flow together seamlessly as one cohesive, stimulating movement. In other words, Kung Fu Jesus is a masterful song crafter who knows how to infect listeners with an experience that leaves them wanting more…or to simply leave The Kantele Tapes on repeat.

You can view the video for Shine A Light above or subscribe on YouTube.

The Kantele Tapes are available on Spotify and Amazon.
