Miss Kittin: Pollution of the Mind
Batbox, Miss Kittin’s excellent second solo album, takes her clinical electro into new areas, reaching warmer pan-European climbs, whilst embracing the sounds of Detroit techno woven to stark gothic drum beats and basslines. It’s more musical and song-centred than previous releases, but Caroline Hervé still manages to retain her witty club-sexy aura.
Pollution of the Mind sizzles with a buzzing arpeggiated bass that’s spine chilling, occasionally accompanied by isolated whiny piano-synth riffs. These alone are impressive, but her surprisingly crystalline vocals are the true standout.
