Los Angeles pop duo Kisses have announced another single from their anticipated album The Heart of The Nightlife. The track "People Can Do The Most Amazing Things" will be released August 3rd, 2010 on IAMSOUND. On the b-side is a remix by Pete Griggs / Saint Etienne. The song itself starts of almost Caribbean-like only [...]
words : Jamie Milton Thanks to Transparent for the find. Summer jams need to hone in on the importance of percussion. Kisses certainly have. The LA duo use processed chillwave (been and gone - I know) beats to enhance an uplifting, in-amongst-the-waves vibe. Don’t forgot the bog-standard kit contribution and what might just be the addition of marimba. It’s hard to tell… The guitars are far more important; giving off a soulful voice, akin to those The xx became so adored for using. [...]
After released the blog-favorited single 'Bermuda' on Transparent Records earlier this year, LA duo Kisses (Jesse Kivel of Princeton and Zinzi Edmundson) will release 'People Can Do The Most Amazing Things' as their next single on August 3th through I AM SOUND, with a Pete Wiggs (Saint Etienne) remix on the b-side. Grab the track below and blow kisses... Kisses: 'People Can Do The Most Amazing Things' [ mp3 ]
Ever since I've stumbled upon Kisses , this beautiful tune was by far my favourite by this wonderful couple. And now that Transparent has put it up this morning, there's absolutely no way of not posting it as well right away. A slow, dreamy, new wave melancholy masterpiece. Kisses - People Can Do the Most Amazing Things
Kisses - The Heart of the Night Life.jpg On their debut album the LA- based duo coyly offer up a whole host of disco-inspired tracks that are sure to please those looking for [...]

We have a love-love relationship with remixes that maintain as much of the original contexts as possible. Now, that's not to say that switching it up a ton in an edit causes huge alarm calls and shit-talking. Just establishing some ground rules, you know? So SKWBN-if you haven't already been able to work through-is Johan [...]
Siempre se agradece que haya grupos como Kisses . Primeramente, uno se pregunta...¿Porqué a nadie se la había ocurrido ese nombre para una banda?. Desde KISS , grupo que tenía otras connotaciones, no había una banda que usara esa palabra, verbo, nombre de chocolate de 14 de febrero, lo que que sea. No, ahora todos se ponen nombres rebuscados como Queens of the Stone Age , Eagles of Death Metal o Panic at the Disco . Bueno, el punto es que esta banda/dueto está pegando fuerte, y cómo no, si su mezcla de sonidos de terciopelo [...]

Lil Gaga and Mini Kiss together? That's what we're hoping for on today's episode. We also get a little obsessive about Goatwhore and leg humping, among other things. It happens. The Music News Show (5/6/10)
Jack Shankly and Sahil Varma Starting life back in 2005 as a photocopied fanzine distributed across London by devoted young promoters Sahil Varma and Jack Shankly, Transparent has found its way online as a popular music blog and record label. Since then, the pair have been responsible for thrusting new bands such as Yuck , Summer Camp and Kisses into the blogospheric limelight, garnering praise from Pitchfork and The Guardian’s Paul Lester. With the bulk of their roster based across the Atlantic, they have managed to [...]
The swoon driven single "Bermuda" (by one of my new favorite pop acts Kisses) gets turned into a chopped up dreamy synth song by Active Child. The remix will be featured on their 73 single for "Bermuda." MP3: "Bermuda (Active Child Remix)" Website: http://www.blowkisses.info MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/blowkis sess

Sweden's ambient pop act Pallers are back with another great, spacey track called "The Kiss" today. The latest output since the excellent (and excellently-received Humdrum EP) is as engaging a song as you're sure to find, with a colorful set...
Kisses : Bermuda Parfois, on a l’impression d’être blasés à voir des titres fades défiler dans nos oreilles et glisser comme sur du téflon. Aussitôt entendus, aussitôt oubliés. Et puis parfois, il y a cette chanson qui vous rappelle pourquoi vous aimez autant la musique! Bermuda ( MP3 ), le premier single du duo de Los Angeles Kisses , fait partie de cette seconde catégorie. Un gros coup de cœur coincé en “repeat” sur notre iTunes et qui [...]
Kisses are a duo from Los Angeles consisting of Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson. They are slowly, but steadily creating a name for themselves on the disco/electronic underground scene. They are in preparation to release their first single "Bermuda". "Bermuda" was chosen to be the first single released in anticipation for their debut album The Heart Of The Nightlife . It will be released on April 27th via Surround Sound Records , accompanied with a remix by Active Child as the b-side. Jens Lekman's vocals over 80's dance music might be the easiest description of [...]
Sweden's Lake Heartbeat gets remixed by one of my favorite new bands Kisses. Though not as epic pop proportions as songs by Kisses themselves, the remix does contain some similar arrangements to their songs. Kisses' new single "Bermuda" will be released April 27th, 2010 on their label Surround Sound. MP3: "Southbound (Kisses Remix)" Website: http://www.lakeheartbeat.com MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/lakehea rtbeat Purchase: Trust In Numbers Label: Service [...]
Lake Heartbeat - Southbound (Kisses Remix) Inför släppet av Trust In Numbers på vit vinyl för Record Store Day har duon Kisses, som vi tidigare tipsat om, fått uppdraget att göra en remix på låten Southbound och resultatet hör ni här. Kisses består av Jesse Kivel från Princeton och Zinzi Edmundson och de har inte gjort någon tio minuters remix-remake, tänk Studio, utan låten behåller nästan precis sin originallängd. Istället har man slängt in några syntstråkar precis i början av låten, dämpat lite av den luftiga ljudbild originalet erbjuder, och liksom på något sätt [...]
Den 19 april släpper Lake Heartbeat singeln Southbound från det Dan Lissvik-producerade albumet Trust in numbers (som för övrigt släpps i 500 vinylexemplar för International Record Store Day den 17 april, pre-order här ) digitalt på Service , och i samband med detta bjuds vi på en underbar remix från den talangfulla duon Kisses . Singeln kommer även innehålla Mars by night och Mystery (Ydre Rymden Dansskola remix) . Och när vi ändå är inne och vidrör grymma skivetiketten Service, så kan jag meddela [...]
Cobbling together a few posts today I am, in preparation for a few days AWOL from the blog. Not to worry though, I've set some up to pop up periodically during my absence so those of you who simply can't live without It All Started won't be left totally bereft. Hi Mum. (Actually, my mum doesn't read the blog - I don't talk about Elvis and Dolly Parton enough. Love you Mum!) Here are some tracks that have been languishing in my uploads folder, waiting patiently to be aired. My pick - the Old Believers tune. Top stuff. [...]
