 this EP, like all the production of Kitchens of Distinction starting from the excellent Love Is Hell, an LP from 1989 released by the legendary label One Little Indian and one of the crucial records in the history of music for who is writing, is nothing but the confirmation of the great qualities and uniqueness of this band’s sound that, rather than recalling the Smiths, reminds one of Echo & the Bunnymen, The Chameleons, Adrian Borland’s The Sound, and, believe it or not, Joy Division.
