Copenhagen’s Kind of Girl specialise in bass heavy synth-pop doused in the sweet addictive vocal melodies of lead singer Sissel.
‘Lonely in A Modern Way’ marks the debut album from a band bursting with ideas on combining rock, electro and atmospheric elements to write addictive and inspiring pop songs.
The album’s opener “Slave To Your Charms” is a great introduction to just this. The initially sparse vocals glide over a backdrop of shockwave-bass lines and moody synthesizers before erupting into the chorus’s stirring lament of love. “Equally Meet You” sees the band dip their toes further into the electronic end of the spectrum and crosses Bloc Party riffing with a beautiful string lead chorus, chiming keys and clockwork beats.
Touring the world, most notably with fellow country-men and women Alphabeat, in the back of a van has brought Kind of Girl hoards of fans, internationally, who have helped push the band into Lastfm’s Most Downloaded Chart, where their music has been downloaded over 2 million times.
In the coming months the band bring their show, and their van, to the UK for some select London gigs around the release of the album’s first single “Slave To Your Charms”.
