Brighton three-piece Kitchen Lover have a gritty, no-holds-barred attitude to performance with a crooked lyrical edge. Garage-punk rawness with theatrical flair and bluesy grit, they’ve had a breakout year of relentless gigging, now teeing up their debut album The Circus Sideshow Dream, with new single ‘Black Hole Heart’ leading the charge.
Bringing on Erik Miles (SOFT PLAY, Kate Nash) on production to achieve their sound, the new track dives into angst, delusion and emotional decay, delivering fuzziness, bite and a rhythmic pummelling along the way. The intentional chaos of their live sound is held under control, pushing into an emotionally articulate territory that builds on the unhinged energy with a bit of driving darkness. A magnetic start to the album rollout.
They add, “The twisted & accurate story of a sickened heart, whose body is occupied by a man so full of fear, delusion and self absorption that he’s completely incapable of receiving or giving love to anyone, even himself. Many speculate the classified information of a malnourished childhood, ill loving parents, cruel siblings. This being something I’m unable to comment on. There is one thing I do know, this man is in a much, much deeper state of pain than the ones he inflicts pain on.”
