What's so good about the good old days is that the memories fade
ALBUM REVIEW
Thanks for the CDs Darren - I liked them so much I thought I'd write a review :)))
This week I've been listening (a lot) to Hit or Miss (2006) and My Blacks Don't Match (2009) by The Key Party - a "subversive lounge act from New York City." I enjoyed Hit or Miss very much but on My Blacks Don't Match they have developed their vocal style, music and lyrics really interestingly.
Both albums have a great New York sound with elements of Lou Reed and David Byrne. There is also a David Bowie and Tom Waits vibe. The Tom Waits sound can be great but I'm not always keen on his voice. The Key Party has that but with Darren Gaines vocals - which I much prefer.
If you're a fan of any of the above I'm sure you'll enjoy The Key Party.
On Hit or Miss I particularly liked - Born Permanently Cool, Sideshow, Manhattan Song and To Begin Again.
My Blacks Don't Match is my 2nd favourite title at the moment. The 1st being oh fuck...we've got cats by my very talented space opera buddy m3d1um. Who is available for your listening pleasure on SoundCloud.
On MBDM Nightshade, Hey Napoleon, Speechless, and Hallelujahville were my favourite tracks.
Here's one from each album...
