Kap Bambino ‘Blacklist’

Redolent with “the unruly spirit of bands like Suicide and Nirvana,” all of the songs from Kap Bambino’s third album Blacklist are a little dark, very fast and under three and a half minutes. I could see myself dancing to most of its songs at 3 a.m., bouncing my way through a sea of thrashing limbs. Songs like “Human Piles” and the title track stir up nightmares of being chased through a video game, with its high-speed percussion and ample use of synthesizers. In fact, the whole album could be the soundtrack to the next Tron, if it was relocated to the Lower East Side in 1984. The full-length album is out now, as well as their Batcaves Ep, both available on iTunes. Fitting, considering the first single Batcaves mentions vampires more than a few times, and that just happens to be the fourth most used word in 2009, according to the Global Language Monitor.
