We're just going to come out and say it. Kittens Ablaze kicks major bootay. They're confident with a definitive point of view, and their live shows look like more fun than Six Flags.
Structurally speaking, they have a seamless mash-up of some classical string instruments alongside some particular indie/folk sounding guitar and harmonica, all with some synth in there to really blow your mind.
Although they've gotten compared to Ra Ra Riot, Arcade Fire and the Pixies, and accurately so, we at Tambourine feel a bit differently. For starters, the aforementioned instrumental mash-up sounds a lot like the Islands, whose album Arm's Way is probably one of the best and underrated albums of 2008. We're glad that another act like Islands can come along and whip out a great repertoire of exciting and unique tracks. Oh, and we can't help but point out that vocalist Tim Spellman sounds like the love child of Brian Molko (Placebo) and Paul Banks (Interpol).
