In the wake of their eponymous debut album, Kentish town siblings Kitty Daisy and Lewis have rightfully earned themselves a reputation for being a group of highly talented and original masters of transcendent rock n' roll. They have cast their distinct musical spell over listeners and critics alike with a sound that whilst deeply rooted in the past hurtles towards an interminable and effervescent future, affirming them as one of 2011's sovereign bands.
Which brings us to the trio's forthcoming album "Smoking in Heaven" to be released 30th May on Sunday Best Recordings. Kitty, Daisy and Lewis are excited to announce that they are back with thirteen new self-penned gems. The tracks, each one unique, are united upon this album by a strong sense of playfulness, deep rhythmic quality and an unfailing dedication to authenticity. A fiend for living and breathing the music that they play, when he isn't recording with his sisters Lewis DJs, collects and even cuts his own 78rpm records himself. In this case the entire album was produced and recorded by the band in their vintage home studio using ribbon microphones and analogue tape formats, thereby eradicating the harsh digital interference of computer generated sound from their musical equation. The result is an intriguingly coherent album that delves in and out of genre and displays an affiliation to multiple styles, textures and tempos, challenging senses in a way that is certain to keeps listeners on their toes from start to finish.
The opening track "Tomorrow," is a masterful piece of ska tinged rock n' roll crafted upon seductive trumpet solos, rhythmic luau guitar riffs and exotic vocals that conjure rum soaked fiestas on far off islands. "Baby Don't You Know," is a prime example of the band's uncanny talent for enticing their audiences with a beat driven vivacious R & B sound. Listen as they coax you into a false sense of security with a smoky acoustic opening before dropping into a fast paced, palpitating second half jam, during which they showcase their multi-instrumental talent. Both "I'm So Sorry" and "I'm Going Back," which make up their first double A side single to be taken from the album could easily be regarded as the first great hits of the summer. The pair are built upon jazz soaked vocals and infectious swaggering rhythms that are sure to snare listeners of all ages and get bodies swinging. The title track "Smoking in heaven," is a howling harmonica infused, toe tappin', instrumental that oozes with country drawl and brings the album to an energetic close, leaving you gasping for more.
This fast paced album exudes the vitality that in the past has come to captivate the likes of Amy Winehouse, Chris Martin, Eagles of Death Metal as well as Dustin Hoffman and Ewan McGregor. In fact their rapturous reception was so strong in the case of Chris Martin that he handpicked the young trio to tour the U.S with Coldplay. "Smoking in Heaven," represents the band's evolution from talented young enthusiasts to bona fide purveyors of a groundbreaking contemporary sound.
