Supreme genius of King Khan

Their songs sound like they belong on some recently discovered, "Nuggets"-style compilation of 1960s GARAGE ROCK AND SOUL.
I have been listening to several songs by KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES lately.
Khan, a Canadian of Indian descent from Montréal and a veteran of the garage-rock scene, based himself in Berlin, collected some European musicians skilled in garage rock and R&B, and the result is "The Supreme Genius of King Khan and The Shrines," surely one of the contenders for album of the year.
The music sounds like a bunch of guitar-playing kids in the basement trying to sound like James Brown, but playing way too fast. Classic stuff.
Check out the King's homepage, located here, for more information.
