Picking up on the sound and inspirations of obvious influences like Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Kiss Kiss go even further in bringing the ghosts of 1970s progressive rock kicking and screaming into the contemporary indie rock scene. In particular, Kiss Kiss are defined by their extensive use of the electric violin, an instrument last seen showcased in the Canadian cult favorites FM, whose leader Nash the Slash wielded an electric violin while dressed head to toe in mummy bandages.
