After being away for a few years, the new-wavey Los Angeles duo Kisses returned with a new single called " Funny Heartbeat ." Now they're getting ready to release their sophomore album Kids In L.A. , and we've already heard " The Hardest Part ." Now they're sharing the elastic, New Order-esque "Huddle," which is colder and more mechanized than the bubbly fare we're used to hearing from them. Listen to it below. Read More...

There's something about the footloose and fancy free glistening disco pop from Kisses that you can;t help just hitting your groove to. 80s snap beats and a funky groove get you foot tapping, before the crooning vocals and synth-line sweetly pure you to the dancefloor. Huddle is the second single of Kisses' LP Kids in LA and should be out on 14th May. It doesn't hurt that this is being put out by our friends Cascine in the US and Norwegian label Splendour here in the UK either... [...]
Kisses continue to roll out more from their Kids in LA album. Similar to Summer Camp in their embrace of an America gone by, "Huddle" sounds like the work of two people, something duos all too often don't accomplish. The guitar ticking and getting caught in the knots of itself like guitars do in songs by The xx , the synths finger-pricking along the perimeter and during the chorus, bumping into the ground. Kids in LA will be in our hands and ears May 14 thanks to [...]

Here's a little synth pop jam to help push you through the hump day. Los Angeles natives Kisses recently dropped Huddle , the second single off their upcoming project Kids In L.A . Kisses is comprised of Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson , and since their debut album The Heart of the Night Life back in 2010, they have gained the reputation of being quite the groovy little twosome. With a throwback 802s vibe mixed with an indie disco sound, Kisses ' Huddle is a track that might [...]

We've already heard the infectious first single "The Hardest Part" , and now the Los Angeles-based duo Kisses have shared a second track, called "Huddle", with '80s-inspired synth melodies, guitars, and smooth vocals. Give it a spin above, and blow kisses. "Huddle" is taken from the duo's upcoming sophomore effort "Kids In LA", co-produced by Pete Wiggs of Saint Etienne and Tim Larcombe, which drops on May 14th on Cascine. Just in case you missed it, check out Classixx's latest track "Borderline", featuring Kisses’ Jesse Kivel on [...]

Kisses have a new album called Kids In LA out in a couple of months time (May 14th, via Cascine Records) and they've released another cut from it in the form of the track "Huddle." Evoking the sadder vocal melodies from their debut album The Heart of the Nightlife , the track is a minor key exercise in what they do best, which makes the sun-bleached cover art (above) seem a little misplaced. "Meet me in the middle," Jesse Kivel sings, and it sounds like we might have to - somewhere between the expectations [...]

It's rare that I get into the dance/electronic side of things on ATH, so you know when I do, it has to be a jam. Kisses are band that we've posted about in the past due to their catchy dance tracks, and this new grooving beat called "Huddle" is no different. You'll definitely here an 80s dance floor influence mixed in with some high pitched vocals that combine to get your ass moving even if you're sitting at work. Sophomore album Kids in L.A. hits stores on May 14th via Cascine Records .
Kids in LA out on May 14 on Cascine.

Huddle is the new single from LA SynthPop duo Kisses , the second to be released from their forthcoming, Cascine released, sophomore album, Kids In LA . The album’s been produced by Pete Wiggs from Saint Etienne and Tim Larcombe, who’s worked with the likes of Sugababes, and is set for release mid-May. There a nice contrast, on Huddle , between smooth Californian SynthPop and B-Boy Beats that at times feels apart, sometimes together. Leaning on the strength of Kisses songwriting, rather than flashy production or big room beats, Huddle [...]

Después de lo que parece una genial semana en Austin para el SXSW, Kisses nos presentan "Huddle" un adelanto de su nueva producción Kids in LA , que saldrá en Cascine (

Kisses share the 2nd single from their upcoming album Kids In LA . “Huddle” strikes a sharp balance between late 80’s freestyle production + contemporary songwriting, taking its cues from artists like Debbie Deb & Trinere. A song that continuously builds & pays off in a subtle yet poignant turn of phrase “meet me in the middle, meet me in the huddle” . Huddle // buy
When contemplating quintessential pop compositions of any which era inspired by American football, I draw that same blank when asked of the rules to govern the so-called sport . Thus rather more self-explanatorily involving therefore is the subtle, '80s-flecked genius of Californian duo Kisses . We fell for 'em all over again as they announced news of a coming together with steely electro-pop mainstay Cascine that already felt years overdue, and simultaneously drew back the curtain on forthcoming sophomore Kids in LA as they lofted on over the breezy easiness of The Hardest Part . And [...]

No recuerdo que Kisses tuviera un sonido tan color pastel, pero parece que este es el estilo con el que la dupla se ha sentido más cómoda para comenzar a crear melodías simples, y con un efecto que no cuente con ningún tipo de vibración, sino con una esencia que en todo momento nos remita a la estética pop de los 80. La verdad no sé si esto sea algo que me atraiga por parte de Kisses , pero esto será algo que tendré que descubrir cuando pueda escuchar de principio a fin su segundo material de [...]
