Keep Your Eyes + Ears On | The Kill Van Kulls

Last September, we first posted about Manchester's The Kill Van Kulls and the band's single, "Lost and Found." The track is a definite earworm of the Yeasayer (you know, that irresistibly '80s, synthy, indie-pop stuff) variety, and it quickly crept into our list of The Best Songs of 2011.

At that point, the band hadn't released an album, or even an EP, but now we've got word that The Kill Van Kulls are poised to unleash more musical goodness onto the world in the form of the Songs for Sinners EP, out April 23rd. Like CeCe Peniston once sang, "Finally."

You can test drive the entire EP via the Soundcloud player below, and don't forget to check out last fall's catchy-as-hell single, "Lost and Found." Keep your eyes and ears on this foursome from across the pond, friends. They're coming for you.

Jam of the Day | The Kill Van Kulls - Lost & Found

God, dontcha just love it when you hear an incredible song for the first time the old fashioned way? You know, on the radio? I know, I know, it so rarely happens these days (if it ever happens), but luckily for me, I live in Saint Louis, home of the best damn independent radio station that ever was: KDHX 88.1 FM. Thanks to Darren Snow of Tuesday morning program, Rocket 88, I've been introduced to Manchester's The Kill Van Kulls.

Sounding just like a song off a John Hughes' movie soundtrack I already hold near and dear to my heart, "Lost & Found," is a new wave slow-fast-slow jam perfect for first kisses atop glass tables and defiant letter writing from the depths of detention hell.

Doesn't appear the dudes have an album out just yet, but you can download both singles from their previously released 7" on their Bandcamp page.
