Listen: Kisses – “Kids in L.A.”

Whether in stock, or just streaming in store, we’ve got you covered with real, human-generated recommendations straight from the store stereo. We do not receive anything if you buy. All recommendations are our own. (This for fun!)

Mashing an affected, dispassionate Jens Lekman croon into ’80s synths bespeckled with disco beats, Kisses grind the Smiths for kids who like to move as they mope. Head bobbing is inescapable inside deep, calculated grooves, a kind of glass smooth rhythms that burrow into your bones, deeper and deeper with every rotation.
And while the lyrics may be maudlin, but lines like “I’ve been up all night” and “to my own surprise, I watch the sun rise” are bound to shoot you deep into the nightlife, desperately searching for something.
