Kill Krinkle Club Felthat Blogspot Review
"I haven't been updating my blog recently as the time curses swirls all around but the stack of the cds I have been sent to seems to grow huge. And at the same time I have been offered so wide variety of genres to review that I have to re-arrange the idea for this outlet whisch seemed to be only experimental stuff which now is too narrow for me and gives some fresh air too.
There's been a recent flow of materials and projects which were smartly named chill wave which really doesn't have an impact on what I call this music myself. it's really difficult to keep the trail of it, but most importantly as with all the labels and names - it is just to justify yourself with the idea and sombre question: I dunno what the heck should I call it and do about it.
Justin Commins and Elina Bergman as I am told met by chance in one of the Dublin bars which evoked an idea of a musical project. And what a meeting of the minds!
using the idiom of Human League, Soft Cell and 80's pop their ingenious musicality sense emergeed in a sophisticated form where many parts fit together so well. Well...the influences, reflections and recollections.I must say there are plenty: haziness of My Bloody Valentine without the distortion of the guitars, Animal's Collective, Panda Bear, archetypal vocals of 60's power pop, but foremostly them - using synths and sequencers to get the helluva energy from the inside. What I like about this cd is also the arrangements - seems like Elina and Justin have a great musical background and don't want to take shortcuts by any chance - which is a great asset!
Being cut off from typical poppy trash which I am fed up with I always tried to look closely at all these bands which use the term "pop" only as an idiom to convey something deeper. Seems like I have found something which will keep my eyes more open. Thanks!!!"
One of our favourite bands and fellow TSR label mates Funeral Suits are playing SXSW and supporting Menomena in London in November! Debut album out in 2011 recorded with Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) should be a awesome.
The wonderful radio show that is Needle Hits The Groove is back on the air tonight. Tune in around 8pm for some excellent tunage including a song from our new album!
Delighted to be filming a new video in New York with our friend James Featherstone. Here's the great video he shot for us in Toronto earlier in the year
We throughly enjoyed HWCH, great vibe this year. We take our hat off to Funeral Suits & Lost Chord. Thank you as well to Jim Carroll at the Irish Times who has us as one of his highlights of the festival....'oodes and oodles of ideas from a duo whose stroppy electropop is already throwing the right shapes'
