David Kitt artwork & track-listing revealed

Puffa jackets are in for spring '09!

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 02 Mar 2009

David Kitt has confirmed the March 27 release of The Nightsaver, his sixth album which is the result of “two years of late-night experimentation, 80-hour weeks, caught in the reverie of writing and recording in a home studio at the top of a winding staircase somewhere along Dublin’s Grand Canal.”

It features ‘Move It On’, ‘It’s Yours’, ‘Beat A Retreat’, ‘Learning To Say Goodbye’, ‘Alone Like That’, ‘Use Your Eyes’, ‘A Real Fire’, ‘Nobody Leaves’, ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ and ‘No Truth In Your Eyes’.

“The free-flowing nuances of disco, Kraftwerk, ‘90s house music, hip-hop of all eras and the evolving legacy of crafted synth-pop from Hall & Oates to Junior Boys can be heard throughout,” reckons the press blurb and, well, they’ve got a point!

We’re also delighted to bring you this sneak preview of the artwork, which finds Kittser posing with the Sony mono tape recorder that used to be standard issue for Hot Press hacks. Ah, the memories…

2006-08-14

With its driving, dirty, fuzzed-out guitars and frantic pacing, Kittser’s comeback single is as whiskey-fuelled as the weekend bender he describes in ‘Say No More’. Giving us a glimpse of his darker side, Kitt moves away from the cringe-worthy, lovelorn lyricisms which smothered 2003’s Square 1. The soppy innocence of the past has also been replaced by a new found edge, bordering on anger. The results are menacing and moody.Judging by some of the titles on his forthcoming LP (‘Don’t Fuck With Me,’ for example), there’s more to come. The honeymoon is over. And thank God for that.
