Review by Gary Hill
I suppose you could label this EP as "pop music." That would be doing it a grave injustice, though. This is meaty music that has a lot of techno and industrial edge. There are punky elements. There is also a lot of Electronic Dance Music built into this. It's catchy and infectious. But it also has its edgy, almost dangerous moments. Kari Kimmel's voice is a real selling factor here. I am sure, particularly with the music her singing accompanies, she draws comparison to Debbie Harry. To some degree that's warranted, but it only covers only one side of her. She has a lot in common with the voices of European dance music and, yes, even pop music. Joe Corcoran is the other half of the duo handling production, music and songwriting. Call this pop music if you must, but by all means check it out. It's compelling and well worth the time.
