It's always an event in Faster and Louder Land when Kid Gulliver releases new music. My first KG review dates back nearly three years (seems longer than that!), and I have had the pleasure since then to report on another five singles, an EP, and a compilation album. "Kiss and Tell," the band's newest single, is a teaser for a forthcoming album of the same name. In typical Kid Gulliver fashion, "Kiss and Tell" is two-and-a-half minutes of absolutely perfect pop. This song sounds like '70s power pop by way of the later '60s, and it's an ear-pleaser in every respect. The melody running throughout the song is so exquisitely tuneful that I still find it running through my head long after the music stops. Simone's vocal is wonderfully bittersweet, and David puts on a guitar clinic full of twists and surprises. And how about that bass line! "Kiss and Tell" is another bona fide hit from a band that never misses. It will become widely available January 23rd, but you can purchase it now from Bandcamp for just one dollar.
