about
Dorfpunk is the (kind of stupid) pseudonym I have been using for all sorts of different projects for years now. It means (in German) Village Punk, punk from the rural town kind of thing. Which is how I live. But it is almost a play on words because it sounds like doofpunk which means stupid punk (doof = stupid) and also techno of course. Fuck it. It works in my head. Anyway – I am Kieren – I play bass in 'Dark Horse' and 'Death Church 'and guitar in 'Penalties', and during this shutdown I sat down with a synth and a drum machine and wrote a bunch of music and then sent it to friends all over the world to put vocals on cos I am not a singer.
This song was the first of the project and features poetry written and spoken by Mahmood Fazal with some background screaming and noise by long-time collaborator and friend Spider Death.
Samples are from Ustad Mahwash and from Faiz Karizi. Check them out. Amazing musicians – both from Afghanistan.

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
I second the statement of this being one of my favourite EPs ever. Kel is unbelievable and I can safely say they kick ass live too, with Kel and some super talented friends in tow. joyisresistance
