Their music sounds like a combination between Zut Un Feu Rouge, Förträngt Hushållsarbete and spacy psychedelic Älgarnas Trädgård, only with English lyrics instead of Swedish. Very challenging music, but also very rewarding after some required time listening to them.
"With their subtly nuanced modulations of unresolved tension and atmosphere of sooty desolation, Sweden's Ur Kaos are one of the precious few bands vibrating at an emotional frequency in tune with the resigned doom of This Heat's Deceit. Unlike the visceral immediacy Charles Hayward's grave intonings lent those late 70s mavens of desperation however, Ur Kaos' lyrical intentions can only be guessed at via the bleak thrust of their two previous English-language outings, since the foreign language vocals at hand render this aspect of the proceedings impenetrable to the non-Swedish speaking among us. There's nothing impenetrable about the manner in which they're sung, however: achy, yearning and riddled with angst. The substance of the sonics said vocals surround are initially less immediate, as Ur Kaos for the most part traffic in a sullen, insular and occasionally scabrous plod that's quietly bruising and wholly unobvious.[...] Ur Kaos' musical syntax takes some effort to emotionally locate, but once it comes clear, it's even harder to shake."-Eric Lumbleau/Alternative Press
