The Kissaway Trail - The Kissaway Trail

The Kissaway Trail appeared in my world about a year back when someone put Smother + Evil = Hurt on a mix CD for me. I snapped up their debut album pretty much straight after, and I've had a mega soft spot for it ever since.

It would be unfair to really compare them with their countrymen Mew because they aren't really doing the same things, but what the two Danish bands do have in common is a wide-eyed, dream-like quality to their music.

There's a sense of Arcade Fire at times on their album (particularly on the more upbeat songs like La La Song) - all handclaps and group choruses. There are some pretty lovely moments on the record, made all the more tender by the vocals.

The Kissaway Trail is an album to warm you up on these cold winter mornings.
