Kiss Me Deadly's Misty Medley

After waiting for four months with only a four song ep to tide me over, Kiss Me Deadly finally released their debut full length on Alien8 titled, Misty Medley.

My immediate reaction is this: Kiss Me Deadly took what they did on this Summer's Amoureux Cosmiques EP, did it better, and did more of it; and really, that's all i wanted anyway. Ive noticed that most of the many reviews written about Kiss Me Deadly note Singer Emily Elizabeth's overly breathy vocals as the band's main downfall. Now, I must object. The guitars are fantastic, the melodies are great and catchy, but I dont think I would love this band as much as I do if it weren't for those very vocals. Its now very obvious how far they have come since those drony emo/math-rock days and it's definitely for the better. Plus, you've just gotta love all those one-word song titles...(Who can guess which other band recently used all one-word song titles?)

From Alien8: "[Kiss Me Deadly's] sophomore effort, 'Misty Medley,' is brimming with intoxicating pop songs that blend the anthemic power of indie rock with dance music...the album is steeped in the sounds of 90's shoegazing, 4AD, and D.C. punk while establishing its own unique style that is anthemic, quirky, and danceable. Musically they bring to mind a number of classic bands such as Echo And The Bunnymen, The Sugarcubes, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, and Blonde Redhead." Now you just have to listen dont you?
