In March 2016, Khu.éex' entered the studio to simultaneously begin work on what would result in two triple albums: 2019's “Héen”, and Khu.éex's upcoming fourth album "WOOch". Translating from "together" in the Tlingit language, "wooch" also echoes the "WOO" philosophy of Khu.éex' co-founder Bernie Worrell in which he wished to use music to bring people together through sound. Focusing on the concept of the Alaska Native communities' shared experiences, the album explores the connection between historical and contemporary issues and intergenerational strength in the face of trauma. "WOOch" also represents Bernie Worrell's final major studio project before his passing three months following the beginning of these sessions. Bernie's playing reflected profound depth and power in the face of his cancer battle. "WOOch" has an anticipated release date of June 2021.

All living beings are related by the basic needs of fresh air, pure water, clean ocean, and a sustainable land. in recognition of the immediate and unending need to defend and protect our relatives, "SHELL NO" expresses the rights of all species to thrive throughout many generations to come. From the new album by Khu.éex’, “Héen”.

Be on the lookout for the feature documentary about the band - The Magic of Noise. Find us at https://www.facebook.com/Khueexthefilm/ Héen, The New Album by Khu.éex. The recording of Khu.éex’s third album, “Héen” (water in the Tlingit language), coincided with critical events and issues affecting Indian Country (and the earth as a whole) including the construction of Dakota Access Pipeline and the endangerment of clean water in all communities. These events were on the group’s mind during these sessions, which resulted in water being a conceptual connecting thread throughout the material. The album features Khu.éex’ co-founder Bernie Worrell, keyboardist and known for his work with Parliament-Funkadelic and The Talking Heads amongst others. Bernie left this Earth June 24, 2016, and is traveling on the Mothership exploring funky new galaxies. This triple album and the nearing completion fourth album are Bernie’s final collaborative efforts. This album’s sessions were held in late Winter of 2016 after we learned that Bernie was stricken with lung cancer. His efforts and participation were as potent and creative as ever (regularly leaving those present in awe), and he loved interacting with the Native American themes and concepts we explore in the music. Also featured on this album are new collaborators Steve Nistor on Drums and Hans Teuber on horns. The vinyl albums They Forgot They Survived and The Wilderness Within and Héen are available now at https://www.khueex.com.

Find out more about this innovative production company here: https://heartstonestudios.com/ Khu.éex’ began with a chance meeting between Preston Singletary and the late Bernie Worrell through a campaign where Worrell was raising funds for a tour bus to bring the music to the people. Singletary invited Worrell to play at his birthday party, where Singletary sang Worrell a traditional Native song to welcome him. Worrell sat down at his keyboards and began improvising on the melody that was still lingering in the air. He created a spontaneous, psychedelic and soulful composition right on the spot which birthed a new direction in his music. The next day Worrell asked Singletary’s band, “A Little Big Band” (a Native funk/soul band), to be the opening act for his show. After the concert, Worrell shared with Singletary that he had several exciting ideas and that they should record together. An amazing union was formed and Khu.éex’ was created.
