Black Kids – Partie Traumatic
Black Kids have been one of the most talked-about new bands since their debut EP Wizard of Ahhhs last year. Their single I’m not Gonna Teach your Boyfriend how to Dance with You was one of last year’s biggest indie hits, with everyone from pop youngsters to old indie-fans (like us) dancing to their 80’s synth melodies. This year they are finally back with a full debut LP named Partie Traumatic, which is out from July 7 on Mercury label.
So what new does their debut LP offer? To be honest, not that much compared to their debut EP. Their biggest hits from their EP are also included in this one (some of them remixed or with a better production) and are well supported by similarly enthusiastic tracks. Some may find this as a bit of a let-down, but this is only a small side-effect of the over-hype the band has received during the last year. Let’s be honest, this is their debut and not a follow-up record, so it is only commonsense that they stay put on their original sound. Regardless of all this, the album for me is really fun and is bound to set everyone dancing once again to the bits of Black Kids. While their influences from the 80’s are quite evident, their sound still remains unique and for me it’s one of the biggest indie-dance debuts since CSS (hopefully they’ll not follow their footsteps and disappoint us with their follow-up). So, as the Kids state it, there’s nothing else to do than Dance Dance Dance…
