Description
Revenge Is Slow, the awesome new album from BLUEBOTTLE KISS, is here and the buzz on it is already flying through the roof!! 3 singles from Revenge Is Slow have already achievied high rotation on JJJ (Gangsterland, Ounce of Your Cruelty & Hasten the Blows)- demand for the mind blowing killer tunes on BBK's new album is unprecedented in their 8-year history! Four records in, BBK have created the kind of meisterwerk that only comes around once or twice in the lifetime of a great band. Think Daydream Nation-era Sonic Youth; Starfish-era Church and Radiohead’s OK Computer. Too ambitious? Have a listen. Opener Fathers Hands, lets you know that this isn’t quite the Bluebottle Kiss of old. A more overt melodicism is the order of the day and continues throughout this stunning work. By turns sprawling yet concise; abrasive yet sweet, BBK have somehow achieved the ultimate distillation of their sound, becoming more accessible yet still continuing their long-standing experimentation with music (and life’s) outer fringes. Their hybrid of strong dynamics, subtle experimentation and an ever-present classic sense of melody has seen Bluebottle Kiss gain a highly loyal following in Australia. They've has also attracted some influential international fans, such as legendary producer Jack Endino (Mudhoney, Afghan Whigs, Nirvana) and engineers Zak & Krevis (At The Drive In)- all of them contributing to BBK projects, including this album. Not bad eh?
