Watch: Kitchens of Distinction Release Music Video For "Tiny Moments, Tiny Omens"

Kitchens of Distinction have released the music video for their latest single "Tiny Moments, Tiny Omens".

The song is part of our current playlist and is the second single taken from the band's comeback album 'Folly', which was released on September 30th via 3 Loop Music.

Vocalist Patrick Fitzgerald words about the track: "Playwright Dennis Potter was interviewed by Melvyn Bragg a few weeks before he died. He swigged morphine and spoke fondly, sadly, with an opiated slur, about the apple blossom beyond his writing window. He knew that this was the last time he would see blossom. The last days, the last time we can do things, awaiting a weird execution. So I pulled out some personal memories that I suspect will come into focus if I'm lucky enough to die under morphine: Ghost Town by The Specials, driving through Brixton the night of the '81 riots, watching Francis Bacon supply rent boys with drinks at the Apollo Club in Soho. Heady things to ponder in a 3 minute pop song."  

Take a look at the video below.

Kitchens of Distinction Reveal New Album Title, Artwork,Tracklist, Pre-Orders Now Available

Kitchens of Distinction have revealed full details for their long-awaited new album titled "Folly", which will be out on September 30th via 3 Loop Music. The 10-track album is the band’s first in 19 years following the release of Cowboys And Aliens in 1994.

   

Patrick Fitzgerald explains the gestation of the album:

“These songs came together over a two-year period which began in June 2011 and finished during April 2013. As with all songs by Kitchens of Distinction, new and old, they began with the musical structure first, the tune and lyrics coming later. With these songs I wrote the initial music, with KOD guitarist Julian Swales shaping them, suggesting tempo changes, structure changes, and providing the trademark sonic embellishments of his galactic guitar cascades. Dan Goodwin, original KOD drummer, added percussion and rhythm programming support. They were recorded in my studio in Derbyshire and at Julian’s studio in Brighton. The songs were mixed with Pascal Gabriel in April 2013 when I was recovering from a nephrectomy and winter would not leave us.”

Folly will be available in vinyl, CD, digital formats and in a very special bundle, so be sure to pre-order your copy today from 3 loop music. 

The tracklisting of the album is as follows:

01. Oak Tree
02. Extravagance
03. Disappeared
04. Photographing Rain
05. Japan To Jupiter
06. Wolves / Crows
07. No Longer Elastic
08. I Wish It Would Snow
09. Tiny Moments, Tiny Omens
10. The Most Beautiful Day

Kitchens of Distinction Reveal New Album Is Almost Done

@viewfromtheloo3 hi yes it has a name. It has a cover. It has 10 new songs. But all this will be revealed.
— KitchensOfD (@KitchensOfD) June 20, 2013

About the sound of the new recording, vocalist Patrick Fitzgerald revealed:

"Jules thinks it sounds nothing like old Kitchens, but like a new version sucked through time and space. Dan said he thought it would fit neatly between Death of Cool and Cowboys. Me? Well it certainly sounds like nothing I’ve recorded these past stephenhero years, so I’m glad as I wanted a change. It’s definitely a hark back to the sonic noise of KOD, but the lyrics are wiser, and the songs less fraught. But don’t get me wrong, they are no less intense."

Fitzgerald, Swales and drummer Dan Goodwin formed KOD in South London in 1985 and released their first single, “The Last Gasp Death Shuffle,” in 1987. Between 1989 and 1994, the trio released four studio albums before disbanding in 1996 following the release of final single "Feel My Genie."
