| Kill J - Bullet |
Release Date: 7th April 2014
I've had plenty of music from the
Swedes recently so it's nice to have something from our Danish cousins to write
about. And this really is something worth writing about. Duo Kill J release
their new single 'Bullet' next week and if nothing else you need to hear it at
least once. For once I'm fairly lost for words but if you imagine Portishead,
Bjork, Prodigy and Sleigh Bells writing together on a submarine then you might
be starting to scratch the surface of this genius. The delicate vocals of the
verse switch to teeth-gritted defiance in the chorus without losing any of the
beauty or siren like qualities. Musically, there is an unsettling sparseness
throughout which is only occasionally punctured by repetitive, almost
mechanical melodies. There is also a video which is worth a few minutes of your
time and it's not often I say that these days. Entirely black and white and
visually arresting it is akin to 100 powerful art installations merged in to
one only to be curated by Lisbeth Salander's slightly more well balanced
sister. Only slightly though, keep the sharp objects under lock and key. All
round this is something special and I would urge you to enjoy to aural and
visual delights on offer here.
