Black Kids - Partie Traumatic

Date Released: July 22, 2008 Album Genre: Indie Pop, Rock, Synth Album Rating: 7/10 Sounds Like: Vampire Weekend, MGMT, The Wombats, New Young Pony Club The album starts out with Hit The Heatbrakes. It'll definitely be the style that will help define Black Kids, it sounds everything like what we've heard from them so far. Partie Traumatic is a bit more of a surprise, with a couple more sounds from the piano and other instruments, I rather enjoyed this track. I'm sure you've heard of both my favorite tracks in this album, Hurricane Jane and I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You. Both tracks are fantastic, though I didn't really listen to the lyrics closely until recently. Kind of confused girl with boy, how typical of me. Sounding somewhat similar is Love Me Already, I don't know. It's probably the reason I like it. I Wanna Be Your Limousine had some interesting sounds, that "ohh eeh ohhh ohh" sounds familiar to something else I've listened to. Overall it was enjoyable, loads of tracks very much indicative of Black Kids, though some variety would help boost their album up a little.
