From a smoky cellar club tucked in a back alley somewhere in London, enticement beckons and hypnotic lures. Hip cats aware of the sway; have flocked to take in the newest group that procures the latest basement rock sound. Four females grace the tiny stage hawking their musical wares. They go by the moniker of The Kut
Cut to Hollywood, California where one unsuspecting world famous rock journalist opens his late night pile of junk mail to discover musical downloads from Criminal Records, an indie label with an eye toward the know. The band is the aforementioned, The Kut.
“The Vision” draws the journalist deep in and causes a change. Sing-Sing like in swirl, this dark and moody piece opens with some electric synth keyboard trickery as the song rushes over you like a hot shot. Ultra cool guitar work is the backbone to some diabolic deep lyrics. Dark wave deluxe. Stark bare bones heighten the rush.
“Brother” sports an in the pocket snare shake throughout, soulful grove bass lines, and a guitar line that is straight out of the Kenny Withrow how to school. Dark demure vocals formulate from the throat of Maha, whom also handles guitar proficencies. The last bars of this offering feature some fabulos frantic distortion plus fuzz riffs. Makes you warm and well, fuzzy.
“Don’t Want You” slinks into your saucy world, spooky start, then trips it up. Up hip tempo with that damn catchy guitar run. Relationship gone bad, attitude gone good. Four instruments raw and on their own, blend to create light. Chill to the new boheimia.
The Kut hawks their wares on 26 April 2007 at The Atrs Theatre Club in London.
