I've been in a kitten mood lately, so I decided to do a bit of random searching to find bands using the keyword "kitten". I think I found a gem...this week's distraction is deemed "Kitten Glitter". I also found "Switchblade Kittens", "Tiny Paws of Fury" and "Atomic Kittens" but I never found another band that succumbed to the cuteness that the word kitten evokes. Kitten Glitter does what "The Unicorns" did, they take their name and run with it.
With a sudden tornado of varied sounds and sometimes little squeaks, this unsigned band from Lubbock, Texas, achieves an exciting paddy paw tapping pulse that is reminiscent of Anamanaguchi with a dash of Aphex Twin. Some would say "but this just seems like electrononsence!" But I say there is a cohesive rhythm. When dancing to Kitten Glitter you have to forge your own way. Get out your two step machete and plow through the video game-esque tunes until you find the underlying beat. It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but after a few listens I found Kitten Glitter's beats to be charmingly erractic. My favorites are "Land seahorse" and "13 Hay Muchos Gatos".
