Anticipation
KIN 004 is a featured release on Stylus this week:
-
The echolocation hand-percussion and
ghostly 80s digital keyboards sound like Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater” if
it couldn’t keep a meal down. Like all the best 2-step, the beat
in(ter)ventions of “Can’t Wait” are like a summer’s day, but this is one
where even at it’s hottest you can feel the tingle of electricity on
your bare forearms, the warning of the sudden darkness of a coming
lightning storm. “Never Happened” and “It’s Too Close” pitch up exultant
female voices ‘til they’re plastic smooth—grainless—then balances them
unsteadily on waves of bass; like the whole EP it’s vertiginous and
exhilarating.

Woebot
Reports are already coming back from the very few promos we've sent out so far, if you'd like a promo please email info@electrokin.com and tell us who you are.- As invitingly improbable as the German Something J/DJ Maxximus's "Mercedes Bentley vs Versace Armani" as improbably inviting as The Soft Pink Truth's classic "Do You Party", both similar examples of orphaned electro-pfunk this EP deserves to be massive.
