by Kava Kon

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    In 2004, Nels Truesdelland Bob Kress formed KAVA KON as a magical escape from the urban decay surrounding them in their former home city of Detroit. The duo created a new form of music combining the modern with the primitive; electronica and exotica! Kava Kon’s music is influenced by the classic sounds of exotica music, obscure thrift store vinyl, retro Hollywood B-movie soundtracks, dub pioneers of Jamaica, and Detroit techno.

    Featuring 'Chinese Surfer' and 'Palace of the Tiger Women,' as featured on the Apple TV series "Severance"
