With their highly-anticipated new album landing at the end of next month, Los Bitchos have now dropped two new cuts lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new singles 'Kiki, You Complete Me' and '1K' follow on from the previously shared outings 'La Bomba' and 'Don't Change' in previewing their sophomore LP 'Talkie Talkie', which is out on the 30th August via City Slang.
Speaking about 'Kiki, You Complete Me', Los Bitchos said, “This track feels like the opening sequence of a comic book series. The tom sounds we went for are outrageous, like the ‘pows’ and ‘thwacks’ of a comic strip punctuating the music… think Batman meets Bitchos! Towards the end of the song we extended this chuggy, tension building section and brought out a guitar solo before ending on the comic/video game theme vibe refrain.
“We’ve leaned into the 16 bit video game aesthetic for the video. Serra has always dreamed of writing music for video games.. We’ve started playing this song live at festivals this year and it’s definitely one of the songs we’re all most enjoying playing.”
While adding on '1K', “This is a really shimmery, summer tune. There’s even a can of drink being opened at some point, you can feel the heat and care free vibes. I imagine a gathering with friends, maybe a BBQ, some drinks, people popping by. The drums are quite stripped back for this track, more percussion led.”
