Open ing Night

• FIRST PRESSING ON LIMITED EDITION BONE VINYL “You appeared like the word ‘yes,’ sculpted in glass and pumped full of smoke… You appeared like a life-saving joke: timed just right, and not too funny.”  The music of the newly re-branded Kinsella & Pulse, LLC—previous albums by the duo were released as Good Fuck and simply Tim Kinsella & Jenny Pulse—contains some of the most forward-thinking postmodern pop of the past decade. Their latest, Open ing Night, follows 2023’s acclaimed Giddy Skelter and delivers a tantalizing left turn that finds the maverick experimentalists’ restless imaginations and formidable skills undiminished. Open ing Night is the sound of three decades of post punk, underground dance music, and the avant garde culminating in a singular vision of smart, mutant pop, adding to a continuum that runs from Davids Bowie and Sylvian all the way to Shudder To Think and Gang Gang Dance. Imagine if SST-era Sonic Youth had been influenced less by Glenn Branca and the Ramones than by Juan Atkins and The Residents. Such is the intoxicating and irresistible duality of Kinsella & Pulse, LLC, who, with Open ing Night, deliver their finest work to date.  1. Sally 2. Sally—> Love 3. Love 4.
