 KITTY DAISY AND LEWIS

"SMOKING IN HEAVEN"

An authentic 1940s style record album featuring EIGHT 10" records playing at 78rpm. Also includes a free Download copy of the album.


Smoking In Heaven is not the first full-length documentation of this borrowed nostalgia - their eponymous debut was released on Sunday Best in 2008 - but it is the first to be completely comprised of the Durham siblings' own compositions. Sure, some of them sound like they could fit right in with the old standards at a postwar tea dance but it's on the more unusual tracks that the siblings excel. 

The crawling boogie of 'Baby Don't You Know' starts off traditionally but soon descends into an extraneous noise freakout, barbed sonics sharpening the edges and lifting the song out of plush music halls and into the gritty streets. The instrumentals of 'Paan Man Boogie' and 'What Quid?' both sprawl on and feel as if they could carry on for eternity, subtle changes constantly refreshing the direction. Most intriguing of all, though, is 'Messing With My Life', where Kitty, Daisy & Lewis' rock'n'roll foundations are infiltrated by 90s R&B, the smooth harmonies and pop melodies sounding more like a TLC track than one of their own. The mix of styles, whether intentional or not, is enthralling and a definite highlight on the record. 

Quaint and quintessentially British, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis might have their hearts stuck in the past but Smoking In Heaven updates the traditional sounds of swing and blues to incorporate more modern elements, and, in this way, the trio are nothing short of pioneering.
