Black Kids: Partie Traumatic


An excellent mix of old and new in their major release Partie Traumatic. Black Kids is one that is able to combine a number of genres together in order to create a new musical beast all together. As an East coast American band one can almost hear the entire spectrum of music which led Black Kids to find their own unique mix of New York pop/rock and roller disco dance music from years gone by, with just a taste of Supremes thrown in for good measure. As relative unknowns, the band and its members are able to make a fun energetic album loaded with fantastic songs. You can really feel the originality in the lyric and the composition of the music. What makes this band so much fun (if I haven’t already hammered it in already) is how different they sound. Songs to keep an eye or in this case an ear out for would be; List to Your Body Tonight, I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend To Dance, and I’ve Underestimated My Charm .
