about

The lead single on Ins Kino's next EP, Bauhaus Party, conjures up the surrealistic images of a 1920’s German art school bacchanal from the perspective of the revelers. The song uses language from Bauhaus architect Farkas Molnár’s essay, “Life at the Bauhaus”, to paint a portrait of an evening of expression, color, tension, release, and uncertainty set in the context of a good old-fashioned, costumed romp. Minimal, locked-in drums and an instant-classic piano riff from Luca Balser lay a foundation for Farkas’ nimble and rousing vocal melody, counterpointed by a dextrous bass line. At the apex of the tune, Zack O’Brien’s accompanying orchestral arrangement reaches its full form and cascades alongside the narrator as the party descends into debauchery until it recedes and all that’s left are leering exit signs, end-of-night choices, and an empty ballroom.

lyrics

Friend of a friend is a partygoer
He smuggled me in on a plated vessel
An entrance surveyed by a stoic fader
Relayed sobriquets till we got our ball back
By masses of transparently colored shifts acting as a sentimental constructivist

Friend till the end is a taxi dancer
Her aerial game, a veritable wonder
Amidst a worldly congress of shapes and souls, our age demanded style days ago

Lights flash and scents spray the band
I’m decked out again

Freund meiner Freund is a door revolver
Her garments arrayed as provocative thunder
Fanged ornamental figures obscure from view brief color wheel reflections made of you

Lights flash and scents spray the band
I’m decked out again

Flow back
Eyes on the gallery at long last
Uniformed, unearthly ceiling swingers float above us
If you’d only look up

Lights flash and scents spray the band
I’m decked out
As an amorphous monster conveyed through a hole in a manner reflecting our rather grotesque menage

Friend for pretend is a message blender
Our proprietor’s lost all his patience; the festival's over
Machine gunned cherry brandy bottles cast ‘round the room while at a maximalist tension our date concludes
And every daring red arrow points to an end
