burst its banks
Release Date: 03/08/2009
kill it kid release their second single 'burst its banks' through one little indian, a precursor to their debut album, due out in the autumn. the new single and forthcoming album is produced, mixed and recorded by ryan hadlock (johnny flynn, the strokes, the gossip) and was recorded in seattle, at the same studio fleet foxes laid down their debut. formed for little over a year, kill it kid make for a stand-out proposition in today's musical climate, drawing comparison at times to mumford and sons, tom waits, frank zappa and zeppelin. fronted by the gorgeous two-part vocal harmonies of lead singers chris turpin and stephanie ward, the intimate nature of the songs is rendered all the more powerful by the understated interplay between the pair. buttressed with strings, keys and slide guitar, kill it kid blend delta blues, roots and blistering, unapologetic rock 'n' roll to powerful effect, recalling gomez and the raconteurs while their diverse influences ensure they sound very much their own band. aged between 20 and 22, the band are in possession of a musical wisdom beyond their years, and it's a surprising and wonderful moment when one first hears chris' voice. limited to just 500 copies.
