Art of the Cover - Kitten's "Cut It Out" (2012)

Goldfinger-tastic! ... Rather nice artwork, actually, to Kitten's "Cut It Out" .

Produced by Chad Anderson and Gavin Mackillop, this sophomore collection includes three singles “Cut It Out”, “G#” and “Japanese Eyes”,

Kitten Cutie Chloe Chaidez described the sound of "Cut It Out" as more "electronic" and "rock" than the previous releases, mentioning a strong '80s influence.

Yahoo described "Cut It Out" as ... 

"a frenzied but melodic blend of danceable pop with an undercurrent of raw post-punk and 80s new wave; it's filled with irresistible melodies, incessant hooks, and Chaidez's provocative lyricism."

Liberating is a good descriptor for Kitten's Cut It Out EP. 

A blend of the sophisticated elegance of dream pop with the jagged directness of rock and roll, it's a declaration of intent and an auspicious announcement of the arrival of a new force in music. 

The title track "Cut It Out" has the sweetness of a delicate pop song underscored by a massive futuristic backbeat. 

"G#" is a reverb-drenched reinvention of classic shoegazer rock, slashed through with razor guitars and songs like "Sugar" showcase Chloe's willingness to be intimate and vulnerable even from within these layers of raucous noise.

Tracklisting

1. Cut It Out
2. Japanese Eyes

The Video - Kitten's "Cut It Out"

Money's on fire and you're making me proud, sleeping all day with the radio on

From the acclaimed Cut It Out collection, it's the junior felines with the title track.

Not exactly up there with the mighty Go-Betweens track of the same name, but it ain't bad.

Yeah, I rather like the fetching, stylised, 80's-tastic, Goldfinger inspired, vid.

The promo was directed by Hana Ardelean & Jen Szilvagyi.

Art of the Cover - Kitten's "Sunday School" (2010)

Some fetching ambiguous artwork (featuring two delectable beach bunnies frolicking in the dark on, erm, a piece of grass, early on , erm, I   guess, a Sunday morning) adorns the debut offering from Chloe Chaidez and her junior felines.

A collection that garnered much acclaim for the new band ....

This Kitten's got pop/new wave/indie claws. Chloe Chaidez was 11 when she was onstage with Conor Oberst and Midlake, 13 when she decided to move on from Wild Youth to start the band Kitten, and 15 when her impressive debut EP Sunday School was released. 

The EP was mixed by Gavin Mackillop (PIL, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Church), and Kitten was recently hailed as "The Best New Discovery of SXSW" by SPIN.com.

... Huff Post

  

A surprisingly great offering from such a young band. Every aspect of this EP is top notch. Not a dud on here,

Definitely looking forward to where this band is headed. 

Recommended if you like Metric, Yeah yeah yeahs, or fine female front indie pop /rock.
