 MTV Online Full Blown Kirk Writhing past the comparisons to both NINE INCH NAILS and PORTISHEAD, vocalists Alison Scola and Krista Tortora have led FULL BLOWN KIRK into a new realm of hip hop-influenced electronic music. With keyboardist Joe Minadeo, guitarist Jack Randall, and drummer Dave Braun, FULL BLOWN KIRK has established their position between the blurred distinctions of techno and electronica. As the three instrumentalists combine rythyms and sounds into acidic tones and grooving beats, Scola and Tortora sinisterly lead the show with their paradoxcially sultry and disheartening resonance. Combining acoustic and electronic instruments, FULL BLOWN KIRK has given new light to cold creativity and abandoned classification and musical limitation for a world of haunting, nauseatic bass lines and serenly thick grooves. Trippy and trancey, KIRK shuns all comparisons and uniquely blends velvety lyrics and music teetering somewhere between exotic and hypnotic into an undefinably crystal clear picture of macbre electronica. |
