Sugar-coated melancholy runs unabashed through the LA duo’s debut.
If chillwave is the sound of some non-existent beach paradise on a global isle where languor and self-indulgence are the lingua franca, then Kisses’ classy debut might be the five-star hotel you frequent to escape the sun-bleached riff raff. It’s undeniable that the LA duo – couple Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson – make music that plays into the romanticised false histories that have made 2010 simultaneously so beguiling and frustrating. The Heart of the Nightlife’s aesthetic backdrop is Miami, circa 1982 – it’s a soundtrack to the idea of the time, the emptiness of those cavernous white Hollywood Hills mansions, rather than mimicking the sounds of the period itself. Pastel slacks and gaudy cocktails by the pool aren’t yet trashy; Hall & Oates are topping the charts.
