Kiss/Kick is the latest album from Broken Spindles, and the second release from The Faint’s Blank.wav Record Label. Broken Spindles’ sole member Joel Petersen has done remixes for, Of Montreal and AFI and is also a member of The Faint but Kiss/Kick is a strictly “No Eyeliner” record.
With an entire studio at his disposal, Petersen used a live drummer more than on his previous Spindles records. Petersen says, “I knew that finding the balance of opposites was key to making sense of it all, to get the right mix of human and machine, acoustic and electronic, analog and digital, spontaneous and premeditated.” This combination is heard clearly on the song “Introvert” which features programmed live drums, keyboards that hold down the rhythmic center and a guitar sound that careens out of control.
