Music reviews of Kiss & Swallow

Music Review: His lows are my joy
Rating: 5 Stars

I agree with all previous reviewers. This is possibly Corner's best yet. It combines the moody, dark masterpieces from the Pimps' album Splinter with the energetic electro-beats of Bloodsport. It could easily be a Sneaker Pimps album, but there is a more intimate, personal feel to it that distinguishes it as a solo album. It runs the gamut of emotions and is often perverted (which isn't a bad thing). Favorites so far are the mellow, moody "Simple Girl," "Mercy," and "Missile," and the fast-paced yet dark "Your Joy Is My Low." There's only one track I don't much like ("Naked But Safe"), but one not-so-great song among 11 great songs is not too bad a thing. Amazon's tracklisting is a little off. Some are out of order, one has a different name (due to the fact that the actual name is a bit risque, I assume), and "Missile" is left off completely. My major complaint is that there's no booklet. The case has a slot for a booklet, but no booklet. And there are no album credits anywhere, which seems weird, especially since there is a female backup vocalist on a few tracks. I guess she is to remain anonymous. Maybe mine was just missing in error. Anyway - this album is highly recommended for anyone who likes dark electronic new wave-infused pop. One of the best albums of 2004.

Description of Kiss & Swallow

With Becoming X, Sneaker Pimps changed the course of American pop music. Five years later, Sneaker Pimps founder Chris Corner aka I AM X embarks on a solo journey to showcase his exceptional production and songwriting talent.

Kiss + Swallow is really all about songs: dark, futuristic ones expressed in an electronic environment. From "Kiss and Swallow", an upbeat radio anthem, to the 80?s influenced "Heatwave" or the end of days "White Suburb Impressionism", the album swings moods flawlessly and captures the listener.

This is an electro-pop masterpiece, owing as much to the contemporary electronic productions of Berlin and Detroit as to the pop of Prince or Cabaret Voltaire. Chris Corner?s voice is the unifying thread, at times similar to the howlings of Cabaret Voltaire, always with the emotional clarity of Curtis Mayfield.
