record called <strong><em>Kill For Love</em></strong>.</a> It contains 17 songs and has a run time of over 90 minutes, but it somehow doesn’t feel bloated or drawn out in the slightest. The songwriting is great, and the electronics are dialed back ever so slightly to allow the listener to focus on the guitars and vocalist Ruth Radele’s beautiful voice.</p> <p>Maybe I’m jumping the gun, but this feels like one of the first great albums of 2012. We’ll see what repeated listens reveal.</p>http://nick-burd.com/post/20010739397http://nick-burd.com/post/20010739397Tue, 27 Mar 2012 11:46:00 -0400Song of the Day
