Synopsis
Album Description With Becoming X, Sneaker Pimps changed the course of American pop music. Five years later, Sneaker Pimps founder Chris Corner aka I AM X embarks on a solo journey to showcase his exceptional production and songwriting talent. Kiss + Swallow is really all about songs: dark, futuristic ones expressed in an electronic environment. From "Kiss and Swallow", an upbeat radio anthem, to the 80?s influenced "Heatwave" or the end of days "White Suburb Impressionism", the album swings moods flawlessly and captures the listener. This is an electro-pop masterpiece, owing as much to the contemporary electronic productions of Berlin and Detroit as to the pop of Prince or Cabaret Voltaire. Chris Corner?s voice is the unifying thread, at times similar to the howlings of Cabaret Voltaire, always with the emotional clarity of Curtis Mayfield. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThis CD is awesome - their best work private | 04/14/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fantastic CD-- variety of sounds, in other words, all the songs don't sound the same, which is always annoying when you buy a band's CD. The songs vary from melancholy yet upbeat ballad-style tracks to funky dance songs with sexually-charged lyrics. Their style is a bit like Goldfrapp mixed with Gary Numan and the Sneaker Pimps. Also, the singer Chris Corner used to be in the Sneaker Pimps, if that gives you an idea of what to expect."
