Los Bitchos have shared two new tracks, ‘Kiki, You Complete Me’ and ‘1K’, which will appear on their upcoming record Talkie Talkie – out August 30 via City Slang. Take a listen below.
Discussing ‘Kiki, You Complete Me’, the band said in a press release:
This track feels like the opening sequence of a comic book series. The tom sounds we went for are outrageous, like the ‘pows’ and ‘thwacks’ of a comic strip punctuating the music… think Batman meets Bitchos! Towards the end of the song we extended this chuggy, tension building section and brought out a guitar solo before ending on the comic/video game theme vibe refrain.
We’ve leaned into the 16 bit video game aesthetic for the video. Serra has always dreamed of writing music for video games.. We’ve started playing this song live at festivals this year and it’s definitely one of the songs we’re all most enjoying playing.
Of ‘1K’, they added: “This is a really shimmery, summer tune. There’s even a can of drink being opened at some point, you can feel the heat and care free vibes. I imagine a gathering with friends, maybe a BBQ, some drinks, people popping by. The drums are quite stripped back for this track, more percussion led.”
