Chi'en featured on Head Heritage

Our album "Chi'en" featured in the April 2010 Drudion of Head Heritage, reviewed by Julian Cope:

"I’d also suggest you check out the fabulous and gigantic Chi'en by Barcelona quartet Qa'a. Released on Spain’s Màgia Roja label (www.magiaroja.net), Chi'en is a vast post-post-Krautrock (not Postrock, too much self-confident use of avant-clichés) achievement whose horizon-wide sonic parameters extend seemingly effortlessly from the stentorian percussive outer reaches of Agitation Free and Can to the fully chimped-up ambulence of Sunburned Hand of the Man, Amon Düül and ‘Wahn’-period T. Dream, via some truly magnificent guitar burn-ups of the glowing Freerock variety. It’s a trip, kiddies, and a highly useful one at that: buy this record and you get several useful zone-outs for the price of one. Running at close to 80 minutes in duration, Chi'en delivers us the deal of the month in these cash-strapped times."

QA'A

QA’A is a psychedelic band from Barcelona that formed in 2006. It was created with the intention to follow a secret musical genealogy that was believed forgotten by all, radiating music with no stylistic adherence where magic, repetition and rituals prevail above all else...
