KiliKiliVilla (2017)
Before I went to Japan, I hadn't ever heard of the label KiliKiliVilla. Since that time, I've found that they may be one of the best labels out there. Everything I've heard from them has been knock-your-socks-off great and this 7" by The Sleeping Aides And Razorblades is no exception.
Every song on this 7" is big on hooks and even bigger on melodies. Sleeping Aides And Razorblades share some similarities with label mates Not Wonk, particularly in the vocals. The guitar tones have that hint of reverb on them that sounds otherworldly, though it's never to the point where you'd ever mistake them for a surf band. They combine this swirling, dreamy guitar with an upbeat power pop sound that I just love.
This was a 7" that was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn't familiar with this band prior to that. A quick review of discogs shows me that this is a band that has been going for a while now and has quite a few other records. Looks like I've got some shopping to do...
