Kill Switch … Klick

Kill Switch … Klick, basically d.A. Sebasstian and friends, has been knocking around the corners of industrial music since 1990. Always the outsider, especially since it got its start at the height of Seattle grunge, the band nevertheless sought out its own vision of music and how it should be played. KS … K’s seventh CD is a low-key mix of soft synthesizers reminiscent of Kraftwerk, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno and Bill Nelson. Like Nelson, Sebasstian is an audio sculptor with more ideas than can be recorded in three lifetimes, and he gets it all down in the mix. Part soundtrack for films that will never be made, part remixes of such group high points as “Feeding the Machine (Day to Day)” and “Lost Like Innocence,” this is a smooth and beautiful release. With the help of Faith & Disease, Jennifer Hope and Rosie Huntress, Kill Switch … Klick shows that it’s more than just industrial-strength clang rock.
