Song of the Day - Sept 13, 2005

It's time to get up. If coffee and your alarm clock don't work, try Kaito. Kaito is a four piece band from Norwich in the U.K. They have been labeled art-punk and you can definitely hear it in the track "A.S.A. to Accuracy." I love the menacing,jangly dissonant guitar intro. Oh yeah, you bet they listened to some Gang of Four. Nikki Colk's sugary vocals are the perfect foil for the beautiful noise of the guitars. There also is this guitar in the background, basically playing the same note over and over, that just gives the song that something extra. This is one great song. Believe it or not there is a connection with Monday's song of the day, in that Battle had toured with Bloc Party and now Kaito will be doing the same in October. Click here to listen.
