Kisses - People Can Do The Most Amazing Things

NME: "This duo are so laid-back, they sound like Erland Oye in a crushed velvet smoking jacket."

Guardian: "The sunny but sad dance music from this LA duo suggests Bernard Sumner (New Order) jamming with Belle and Sebastian"

Kisses are Jesse Kivel (keyboards) and Zinzi Edmundsonis (vocals). It's a side project of Kivel, one of the frontmen of Princeton, with his girlfriend, writer and fashion blogger Edmundson.

Jesse met Zinzi in 2003 when he was visiting a friend at college. He immediately liked her but had to wait several years before he could really get to know her. Three years later Zinzi visited Jesse while he was studying in London and they have been dating since then. In 2009 Jesse wrote some songs that didn’t fit with his band Princeton so he asked Zinzi to do some vocals. From there on the idea of Kisses started.

On October 11th Kisses released their first album In The Heart Of The Nightlife. Expect some great, highly danceable electro pop.
