Melbourne-based duo KINO MOTEL’s third single, "Fingerprints," takes us on a trip to suburban Australia at some undisclosed time in the past. Premiered by Post-Punk, "Fingerprints" is an almost sleazy, rolling grit-pop track. Kino Motel draw the audience into an interesting tale and then refrain from giving us a whole lot of answers as to what exactly happened. As guitarist/vocalist Ed Fraser croons about houses falling down and well- cooked gear, the gravel in his voice and pub rock inspired guitar hooks remind us of Australian summer heat, at a time when crime rates rise and people go kind of mad. Throughout Fingerprints, bandmate Rosa Mercedes’ repetitive and daze-inducing bass lines couple with signature 70s cult-inspired vocal hooks that, just like the story, lead us from one section into the next. Fingerprints features drums from Josefin Runsteen (Damien Rice, Jens Lekman), and percussion from Sebastian Maschat (The Whitest Boy Alive), while the single was recorded in Berlin by Sebastian Maschat and Melbourne by Ed Fraser, and mastered in Hamburg by Philipp Welsing, with the accompanying video having been shot at Mt. BawBaw in Australia’s South Eastern High Country. Surrounding the single, the Melbourne-based duo have announced a mini tour. More details here and below. |
