Description
Eerie Tenderloin-blues with a drunken swagger, lazy rhythms and drawling vocals. The Holy Kiss would not have become the bug in the ear they’ve managed to develop into if they were just served up a predictable mix of neo-blue garage rock; they are a far cry from the current set of indie rockers appealing to the Lomax recordings for credibility. They have their own sound of unease – eruptions of melancholic fury and noir-ish slide guitar ferocity; t’s an intoxication of ansinthe rather than whiskey. They evoke an uncanny and confused imagery, like a soundtrack to a David Lynch movie, and make for appropriate companions to bands like the Bellmer Dolls and Lion Fever. This release captures their rare, out of print, and hard-to-find early recordings, most available on CD for the first time.
