Just as Californian as they are - retro-pop duo KIsses presents sunny images from the westcoast in their new music video "Huddle" The post Kisses premiere "Huddle" music video appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
A stereotype is used quite quickly and as we all know clichés are way more comfortable than looking a bit closer. Just take Californian pop duo Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson. They share a common bed, a band together, they live in Los Angeles, they got press shots with a parrot while Kivel recently posed The post Kisses - Kids in LA appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

If you're unaware, Kisses is a project from Jesse Kivel of the band Princeton, and Zinzi Edmundson. The Los Angeles-based duo have recently signed with Cascine , and are set to release their new album, Kids in LA , on May 14. The pair's first album, The Heart of the Nightlife , put their syrupy synths on full display, and it felt particularly timely when it was released, with other couple-duo's (like Tennis) making similarly sweet tunes. "The Hardest Part," the first track from Kisses' new album, doesn't downplay the synth love that they cultivated on their debut, [...]
Mini Mansions - Monk Here's something for socal retro pop-ficeonados to be psyched about. LA super-trio Mini Mansions will headline Saturday night (9/8) at the Central SAPC with support from Harriet, Line & Circle, Jesse Kivel (Kisses/Princeton) DJ Set, and some very special guests! If you're yet to get familiar with the brilliance in records like "Monk" then check out the track above. For those already in the mix, then mark this one on your calendars and grab your tickets here , or drop us a line and we'll enter to you to win a [...]
Body Language, Belle & Sebastian, Poolside, Chairlift, the Avalanches, Camera Obscura, Yeasayer, Tanlines. If enjoy any of these bands, you may like Kisses . The LA-based duo, consisting of Princeton 's Jesse Kivel and fashion blogger Zinzi Edmundson, makes tuneful tropical indie rock that’s at once bubbly and plaintive. Kisses’ new single “Funny Heartbeat” realizes a lot of the potential shown by their 2010 debut album, Heart of the Nightlife . Like the songs on that album, “Funny Heartbeat” has a gentle, romantic sensibility that recalls 1970s French pop and an [...]
The press release begins with "finally." Agreed. Not in a negative manner of course, as Kisses , (and Jesse Kivel's band Princeton ) have been touring and writing for the past 2 years. But, in blog years, 24 months is nearly a lifetime. Nevertheless, today is a good day, as the new Kisses tune "Funny Heartbeat" is an infectious ear worm of a late-summer gem. Produced by Saint Etienne's pop wizards Pete Wiggs and Tim Larcombe, the new track is a positive sign of things to come on Kisses' new LP. Their excellent debut [...]
We had a great hang w/ the Princeton brothers in Austin after their last gig of what was a long and busy week for the LA group. With all of us having been perhaps "over served" the night before, we commiserated over an afternoon beer and discussed their great new album Remembrance of Things to Come , and how I couldn't figure out which brother (Jesse or Matt Kivel) was also in the band Kisses (it's Jesse). The conversation strayed to how great the Kisses Robert Palmer cover is, [...]
We were initially apprehensive when we heard Princeton were taking a minimalist orchestral approach to the songs for their new album Remembrance of Things to Come, released yesterday. It wasn't until we heard the album via a Paste full album stream that we realized their charming west coast pop sensibilities were still intact, and in fact - better than ever. This is a more mature band, and one that has honed their song-craft for the second LP. Indeed including flashes of orchestral minimalism, their new songs still feature the wistful vocals we've come to love from [...]
De acordo com Jesse Kivel em entrevista ao Rock 'n' Beats , o ar de tropicalidade presente no álbum de seu projeto Kisses deriva da artificialidade californiana. Agora, o compositor norte-americano de indie-pop acaba de cruzar os EUA e aportar em outro oceano, o Atlântico... pelo menos é o que indica a nova faixa de sua banda Princeton , entitulada Florida e disponível para audição e download na Stereogum . Florida é a terceira faixa do novo álbum da Princeton , Remembrance of things [...]
Nos momentos derradeiros de 2011, nós entrevistamos Jesse Kivel e Zinzi Edmundson , e apesar do assunto principal da conversa ter sido o projeto Kisses , o vocalista Kivel também já havia nos adiantado: o novo álbum de sua outra banda, o quarteto de indie-pop Princeton , abandonaria as influências folk em busca de um som mais dance, como o do próprio duo Kisses . A faixa To The Alps , liberada em 2011, já mostrava essa mudança , agora definitivamente revelada através da [...]
Foi em um dia nublado e relativamente frio que a dupla Kisses fez a sua estreia nos palcos de Belo Horizonte, mas do interior do Grande Teatro, era difícil não imaginar que suas portas ocultavam uma tarde de verão em Los Angeles, Califórnia. A dupla, que chegou ao festival Eletronika com um excelente álbum de estreia na bagagem, The Heart of the Nightlife , colocou o público para dançar em cima do lendário palco mineiro. Jesse Kivel (também da banda Princeton , que lançará novo álbum no primeiro semestre de 2012) [...]

Photo credit: Paley Fairman To prep for their second LP, Kisses (half of Princeton and his significant other) offer up their own rendition of the 802s classic "Johnny and Mary". The duo slows down the original, making it seem less like "Johnny AND Mary" and more like "Johnny Misses Mary". The melancholy is wonderfully welcome, especially when fitting moods that lack the bounce that the original Palmer tune rides along. Kisses - Johnny And Mary (Robert Palmer Cover)
New LP: Sleeping Bags - Sleeping Bags An interesting record before you’ve even turned it on, in that the whole LP was supposedly recorded in one take, something only rarely, and often unwisely, risked. Sleeping Bags thus aligns itself very much to the experimental shoegaze scene in California, and features a bunch of the scene’s local musicians in Matt Kivel and Jesse Kivel of Princeton and Kisses , Abe Burns of Gentle Hands , and Mark Nieto of COMBAT!. It takes its most dangerous risks in the generally fairly unharnessed world of [...]
Jesse Kivel may have branched off to work on Kisses with his girlfriend Zinzi Edmundson, but that doesn't mean he has neglected his duties in indie outfit, Princeton . The L.A. band, which also includes twin brother Matt, Ben Usen and David Ktiz, has returned with the single "To the Alps," and it's much more keyboard-oriented than anything that was offered on 20092s "Cocoon of Love." Although Princeton has always been rooted in pop, nothing in their previous catalog has been this danceable. Perhaps this is why their video for the track features synchronized roller skate-dancing at [...]
Princeton is the side project of Jesse Kivel, the other half of the L.A.-based band Kisses. He plays with his twin brother Matt Kivel, Ben Usen and David Kitz. Don't be mislead by their band name, they aren't based in or around the university, nor did any of them attend it. Jesse, Matt and Ben used to live on Princeton Street in Santa Monica, California. Hearing this for the first time will leave you thinking you were listening to a Kisses track. It's pure dream pop, and I loved every second of it. [...]
Enhorabuena, Princeton publicará su segundo disco a finales de año, y suavizan la espera con un single titulado "To the Alps" y su respectivo video (del realizador Sean Barret ). El corte no es tan pegajoso como "Clamoring for your heart" , pieza sensacional que nos prendó el año pasado, pero es un esfuerzo respetable. Además, la secuela de Coocoon of love garantiza que los Kivel no se olvidan de este proyecto, aún con el caluroso aplauso que los hermanos han recibido con Sleeping Bags , Kisses y Mystery Claws [...]
[mp3] Princeton: "To The Alps" It's no secret we're huge fans of Jesse Krug's "side project" Kisses , but we're also pretty sold on Krug's main creative outlet Princeton - the LA collective that also features his brother Spencer. Princeton's debut record made a solid impression on critics and fans alike, even if it didn't fully break through to the indie " overground ." Either way, we're psyched to hear some new music from these folks. They have an LP coming later this year a limited edition 7″ [...]

Princeton – “Florida” (Stereogum Premiere)
Jan 31, 2012, 12:06pm
Stereogum
StereogumWith the GOP's impending Florida primary dominating national discourse this week, California outfit Princeton come through with a finely cut indie-pop nugget well timed to ride some sweet politico SEO coattails. The title is pure synchronous coincidence, though; this is not a electorally inclined song, and Mitt and Newt get no shine here. The song itself is bright, and rippling with warm keyboards that lap over a spare and buoyant bassline, and these are sounds that evoke the song's namesake even as its lyrics are all about getting far away from its air and its leaves. And Princeton's vocals have [...]
