Bad Kisser // Loss
Struggling with this one. Don’t get me wrong, I love these tracks, but they are so damn short that they are teasing me hardcore. It’s like offering a starving man two potato chips. Are you insane? I need more than that!BANDCAMP | SOUNDCLOUD | TUMBLR | FACEBOOK | TWITTER
Bad Kisser is the ghostly side project of mysterious femme fatale Foie Gras. She tossed these five painfully short songs on her Bandcamp to literally no fanfare late last month. While not completely abandoning her drone homebase, she elevates the material into song territory with sparse instrumentation and whisper-like vocals. Everything is incredibly lo-fi, but somehow she twists the tape hiss’ arm behind its back and forces it into beautiful submission. The melodies are short but incredibly sweet, and just before they have the opportunity to fully bloom, she snips it off at the bud. I suppose this forces the imagination into dreaming up the possibilities of what these seeds of songs could be if left to grow.
Last night I described Bad Kisser as “like Grouper in a graveyard" so if that seems like it would be your thing (and why the heck wouldn’t it be?), then by all means grab this free release from the Foie Gras Bandcamp page.
