Working with Kidz on Fuzz




This summer we're recording the first Kidz on Fuzz EP. We're done with one track, waiting for vocals on three, and haven't yet started on the last two. It's basically Thomas (their guitarist) and myself here in the lab, while Sondre is in Telemark, doing the singing.
The Kidz started out as a kind of feelgood electroclash/synth-pop act, but have in many ways evolved into something very different. The lo-fi drums and the monotone basslines are still there, but on top of that, there are pounding guitar-loops, psy-esque synthesizers, unconventional song structures, and hi-pitched, "spooky-whiny" vocals. It's certainly darker and more aggressive than the Kidz on Fuzz most their fans have gotten used to, leaning more towards deathrock than electroclash. We're stealing some tricks from Meshuggah in order to make it as intense as possible.

Anyhow, I promised Sondre it wouldn't end up sounding too industrial, so instead I made a remix of the first finished song, called "Forest Fire," and it's located HERE. You right click and save target as something utterly nekro.
