Comment: I
feel myself very satisfied thanks to this 8-track split album by KIDS., and
Sledding With Tigers (both musical groups from san Diego, USA). Sledding With Tigers´ music used to rely on Appalachian
music tradition because the combo mixes up bluegrass and country music and its
instruments with some punk attitude. Their message is related to worldly wisdom
of talking about odds and ends which ultimately constitute the important whole.
One can be sure they don`t like the situation they live within. You shall have
to go to work because you need to pay the rent. I can agree with them it would
be great to be a slacker. KIDS.´ music is remarkably more indie oriented,
dance-appealed and psychedelic one because they exploit a buzzing electric
organ which used to drone and vibrate through their four tracks. On the other
side, the term “indie” used to be a weary one today because this word is used
way too extensively and thereby saying nothing actually. It is very sympathetic
that their sound is sustained with some sonic easiness of doo wop and yo-yo
girl pop movement the styles which were prevalent in the 60s and 70s. The
favourite of mine is Float because
reflecting its power through the wall of droning organs, beautiful yet hefty female
singing and catchy melodic gears here and there. On the other side, Monkeys is a bouncy blend of blues and
rockabilly music. Get it.
