We're always happy here in MNS land to push, promote, support and give exposure to new acts and bands, but with the constant plethora of new titles released each week it can prove frustratingly difficult to give each new release the exposure it deserves. However, certain new bands have to be heard and in our humble opinion the Brand New debut long player from ingenious and mercurial duo Flykkilller is one such instance. "Experiments In Violent Light" is as an innovative, refreshing and intriguing a release as we have experienced all year. Firmly encamped in a realm between the complex vocal fixations of Collide, the muscular and darkly rhythmic expansions of Curve and the sonic experimentations of Electro-Pop primals The Knife, this is an assured and fixated release that grows more darkly seductive with each lsten : Polish pop-diva Pati Yang's breathless and slightly cracked vocals the perfect accompaniment to the controlled soundscapes of Stephen Hilton - an artist who's ample credentials include working with the likes of Depeche Mode and Siouxsie on new album "Mantaray"... | |||

Review Creating quite a buzz ( ! ) in the underground alternative scene FlyKKiller reveal the combined results of their sonic malevolence on their much-anticipated debut album "Experiments In Violent Light". These electronically simulated musical transmissions bring to mind the sharply cold genetically mutated sounds of Sweden's The Knife and the feral outpourings of Siouxsie Sioux and the Creatures. Minimalist beats punctuate song lines like spiked Gothic turrets and with a pummelling band behind her front woman Pati Yang whispers and wails enchanting songs like threatening spells : Each song a disturbed vignette transforming into a David Lynch-like story, whilst the underlying beats stutter through minimal beats and mechanical breaks with Electro finesse. This is synapse - sizzling Electro Rock linked by soulful Gothic vocals and warped horror-soundtrack atmospheres...very, very recommended ! Behind the FlyKKiller conspiracy are : Pati Yang who is one of Poland's most acclaimed electronic artists ( who released a critically revered album at 18 years old ) - an electronic balladeer whose sirenesque tones and joy of experimentation in music and the arts have earned her artistic acclaim as well as stadium tour support for Depeche Mode . Stephen Hilton is the musical partner of David Holmes, co founder of The Free Association, and the beats behind many soundtracks for films plus he has produced albums with the likes of Pulp, Depeche Mode and Trevor Horn. Stephen also co-wrote with Siouxsie Sioux on her new album "Mantaray". Format CD Tracklisting 01. Flykkiller (click to listen) 02. Peroxide (click to listen) 03. Fear (click to listen) 04.
