Morrissey: “Do you remember an ancient notion of how good the very best should be? This is Kristeen Young. She uses her keyboard as a highly trained Nazi might use an electronic rod for shocking the parts – the hands moving so fast that whether they actually move at all is an ongoing debate. The voice is a beautiful bayonet, and the life swills out in song – ‘Strangle Bowie with his neckerchief,’ she sings in Kill The Father – but with a heart big enough to trot horses on.” (The Guardian, UK)

OH, and the drummer’s name is Jef “Baby” White.

this song reminds me of the dresden dolls. KY’s been doing stuff similar to this since the 1990s and she lived in st. louis. she famously appeared on the cover of the alt-weekly here with some pubic hair peeking out.

so it’s cool to like patrick stump now? where have i been? there’s something about his voice that just irritates me. i can’t get past it. his singing was definitely more tolerable on this song though.

as for the music, i like it quite a bit.
