Kicking Bird-Cinnamon
[Repost from Music. Defined.; by Josh Terzino, December 2, 2024]
I am extremely honored to once again be given the responsibility of premiering the first single from Kicking Bird’s new album, 11 Short Fictions. Their previous album, the amazing debut Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, was my favorite from 2023.
The question of whether the new album can live up to the first will have to wait until the Spring of next year, but “Cinnamon” is an explosion of fuzzed out guitar that bursts out at a frantic pace and never lets up. It feels urgent and exciting, like it was recorded live at a late-night bar show just before curfew and they wanted to jam one more song into the set. Fast and furious and fun with undeniably compelling sound that keeps you coming back for multiple listens.
At barely over two minutes, “Cinnamon” is enough to give us a taste of what we can expect from 11 Short Fictions. The band benefits from self-producing this time around, and the trust and confidence they have in one another is evident in their sound. Every note feels free and loose but it all comes together beautifully.
If you dig it, you can pre-save the single ahead of its official release on Friday, December 6th. And beyond that you can also pre-order the album, which I will be doing, here. The vinyl is limited to 100 copies, so if you’re into that format get your order in now!
