With a penchant for glittery nightlife and a proclivity for that most ebullient of electropop, Cali pairing Kisses couldn't be better suited to those more stark and remarkable parts of '80s-indebted synthetics. It therefore all seems pretty suitable that Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson should draft in Saint Etienne stalwarts Pete Wiggs and Tim Laracombe for what is, platitudinously speaking, the so-called difficult second album . Entitled Kids In LA , it's anticipated mid-May and, again exceedingly aptly, is to be outed via steel-smooth imprint Cascine though to revert to that which we've at our mercy, The [...]
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 [...]

Hace unas semanas hablábamos del grupo Kisses , un prometedor dúo que practica un pop con influencias tanto de Joy Division , como de la música disco más light. Y bueno, tras el éxito que el grupo ha comenzado a tener en el círculo de la "música moderna", decidimos no perderlos de vista y seguir de cerca lo que pasa con ellos y, bueno, ahora les traemos el remix (vía Stereogum ) que les hizo la ya legendaria agrupación Saint Etienne a su canción " People Can Do The Most Amazing Things ". Una gran [...]
