Free Kisses plays Shea Stadium in Brooklyn tonight for what I’m pretty sure is her first time trekking into the States from Toronto with music in mind. We’ve put her on the spot a few times here and there for good reason, her sounds can infiltrate your good spirits and wrap them in a jacket to keep them from catching a cold. Her voice can lay a jacket eternally for your footsteps to keep your shoes, feet, and socks from absorbing the ice cold puddles which impede a day’s path. Karen is a friend through her sounds, and thankfully a super friendly person that loves some good conversation. Playing with her tonight are Shark?, Byrds of Paradise, and FMLY’s own Philip Seymour Hoffman. Shea Stadium is 20 Meadow St in Brooklyn and the show starts at 8pm.
free kisses – my acoustic heart wants to dance with you
free kisses – wind
free kisses is on tour with our homie cloud nothings right now. tonight though, cloud nothings is at the bowery ballroom with titus andronicus, the babies, and parts & labor. tomorrow, the two will hit up the butcher shoppe in boston and you can peep the rest of their tours at cloudspace and kisspace.
As I’ve said before, the work of Tobacco and Black Moth Super Rainbow extend beyond sonic horizons. The dichotemy, although similar, could not be more texturally different. Where Tobacco hits the grain, sliding coarse notes across the side of your body, Black Moth heals wounds through nurturing melodies and innocent vocoding. “Born On A Day The Sun Didn’t Rise” is the first track we’ve heard off of Eating Us, due out next month, and although I am head-over-heels for Tobacco’s production style, going with Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) seems to be a great decision for this album. Fridmann has captured the youth within BMSR’s synth hooks, the frailty of pattern within that incredibly edited drum part, and with every unexplainable sound comes more questions than answers leaving us in a state of disbelief.
Don’t forget to peep the free BMSR show in NY this Summer here. If you’re going to be at either the Los Angeles or NY show let us know! I’ll personally be at both. Further tour dates and official press release after the jump. Reserve your copy of Eating Us here featuring a 16-page art booklet and hairy summer jewel case jacket. Look for ‘Born On A Day’ 7″ THIS SATURDAY FOR RECORD STORE DAY! Participating stores here.
BONUS: Don’t forget about last month’s FMLY interview with Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow, peep it here.
