THE PAPER CHASE
The Dallas quartet doesn't easily fit into any one musical genre or style. Previous attempts to assign the band have come up with "post-punk," "noise wave (no-wave)," and even the odd "math rock.' The signature use of erratic, jagged electric guitars backed up by a haunting collection of violins, piano, and percussions form the foundation of the album's perfect eerie atmosphere. John Congleton's vocals are atypical, but oddly inviting. While he sounds as if he would be the dark twin brother of Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, Congleton takes advantage of his lightly accented voice by manipulating the lyrical structure of the songs to give and take further emphasis on his words.
KISS KISS
"The quintet Kiss Kiss spins webs of corruption, anger, and defeat. Their sound is nothing short of epic, featuring theatrical twists and changes, piano interludes, and triumphant reprises.” – CMJ
"New York City’s Kiss Kiss has made some of the most stretch-of-your-imagination music of the last few years.” - Magnet
