Fans of Indie Pop legend Kites and its spin-off projects — the Best Coast cover band Daily Life (with Sakiko Mori) and the Christian devotional music solo project Mark Lord — rejoice! While Kites’s lead singer Chris Forgues’ (aka C.F., CF, c.f., cf, and as many other combinations of “c” and “f” as mathematically possible) long-awaited collaboration with Sufjan Stevens (Rhode Island: Small like Baby Jesus) has been delayed, the Fort Thunder alum is offering fans a big consolation with the release of the third installment of his comic book, Powr Mastrs, from PictureBox on November 15.
The series, drawn in CF’s signature pencil variation on the ligne claire style and set in a mysterious world called New China, stars a loveable cast of misfits who enjoy beard parties and graphic sex with jellyfish. The new issue features a racecar that is constantly changing shape and, in a special color section, a touching scene of lesbian erotic humiliation/BDSM punctuated by golden showers.
CF will also be touring in support of the new book, with friend-in-Christ Brian Chippendale on the dates we previously reported. As Sufjan would say, “Come on! Feel The Urination!”
