Review: Super Cute Voices - KaTING!/So Desu Ka
Saturday, 19 April 2008


Ka-ting! Perhaps the title of this track is itself alone a wonderful way to describe the shiny new sound of Super Cute Voices. Fresh, innovative and totally electric, this Welsh new-waving duo have created something that can only really be described as a fabulous lo-fi frenzy. With a sprinkling of synth on a totally high voltage, for only two people Super Cute Voices manage to make an awful lot of solid sound.



Brimming with electric pizzazz, the unique sound demonstrates precisely what I mean by ‘high voltage’

Brimming with electric pizzazz, the unique sound of KaTING! demonstrates precisely what I mean by ‘high voltage’. Its distinctive ambiance and use of sound effects quite closely resemble the quick and nimble sounds of video game music – in a good way, of course. Although perhaps a little repetitive at times, this only adds to its charm in a way that it allows the track to become oodles catchier than anything else currently available to the musical ear. In a nutshell, this is a track that makes a statement through shockwaves.

Next up, is the irresistible So Desu Ka; it is so full of life that you will simply want to capture it and store it in a jar for a rainy day. The intro’s zesty rhythm is enough to make you want to get up and dance, no matter where you are. Vividly displaying their influences of new wave and 70s punk, the track defines the musical flair of Super Cute Voices – a lovely blend of all things old and new. Amidst all this is (perhaps surprisingly) a delicious hint of the mighty Sex Pistols – a self-professed influence of the band that is interweaved into the track’s raw vocals and totally sharp energy. Both KaTING! and So Desu Ka show off quite nicely the talents of Super Cute Voices as an up-and-coming band on which you should definitely keep an eye or two. Watch out, it’s going to be pretty super cute.
