It's been tough lately to find new songs that really grab me, so I'd been going backwards into old albums that deserved a dusting. That was until EMPT and IGIF pointed me in the way of the insipidly-named Kisses. A moniker that should have already been claimed by a 90's girl group, was somehow available to the LA-based Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson. Their self-prescribed tag line: "Girls Gone Oscar Wilde" is about as inspired as the color of my socks. Not a clue about what that is supposed to mean.
Kisses is about two weeks away from blowing up (when they'll play SXSW). The warmer weather that suits this disco-influenced chillwave pop will make them about as irresistible as milkshakes and Shack Stacks. Check out their Myspace, which yesterday had less than 4,000 views. But that's probably just because no one uses that shitshow anymore. I'm sure they're already a big deal in Asia.
"Bermuda" is set to be released as a 7-inch single this spring on Surrounded By Sound. No buy links at this time, but check their empty website at blowkisses.info.
