Reality Vs. The Optimist (CD)
What distinguishes Kiss Kiss, a 5-piece orchestral rock ensemble, from its contemporaries is a unique synthesis of influences, resulting in moody music that hangs and dissolves on shrewd, artful songwriting. Blending analog synths, violin, distorted guitar, and ambient sounds with tight arrangements and male/female vocals, it's as though Kiss Kiss channeled the fragments of its musical predecessors, and reassembled them. Known for their unpredictable, high-energy live performances, the group routinely leads audiences into manic, affected states of high emotion.

| I?m outstandingly lost for words the impression this band has made on me musically. This is by far my best ever discovery for 2006 and its still strong on my top five plays for the first quarter of 2007. This is a must for all music fans. | |
