Band: LONELY LITTLE KITSH
Who: Canadian indie duo – Kristen Goetz and Nolan Jodes who took their name
from “…just another future song, lonely little kitsch” from the late genial Bowie‘s song Diamond Dogs, the title track of his 1974 LP that turns 50 next month.

New single: STUCK IN PLACE
Kristen: “On the surface, “Stuck In Place” seems like a song about hating your hometown.
But it’s actually about waking up one day and realizing that everyone else has moved on without you. They left to pursue their dreams and passions, while you don’t seem to have
any. You’re stuck where you’ve always been, feeling left behind without a purpose or drive.
Musically, I wanted my vocals to have lots of layers and harmonies to fit with Nolan’s guitar riffs. It’s one of our mellower songs, and we aimed for a sort of ethereal, fuzzy feel to it. We started with a 90s-style wall of sound, and Ryan (McDonald) did a wonderful job editing it
down to let the song shine through.”
Nolan: ““Stuck In Place” is a tune that underwent many transformations – it started
as a moody, dark kind of distortion-soaked Jar of Flies – Alice in Chains-era kind of jam…
and over time in the studio we changed the key, the tempo, and length to find a sound
we felt was authentic Lonely Little Kitsch.
Ryan McDonald (The Honest Heart Collective) really helped clean up the song with an
incredible mix. When we heard the first playback we knew we were onto something we
wanted to share with people – it’s a song that fits somewhere between 90s grunge and
70s Fleetwood Mac… I call it Fleetwood Grunge”
TUTV: Expect a captivating bluesy and moony slice of music that grows slowly
but surely in ardency and fervency along its Springsteen-esque strumming way. Wistful
and impassioned alternating/duet vocals flow upfront and lead us, beat by beat, into a glowing and electrical finale. Lonely Little Kitsch do it their own Fleetwood grunge way.
Let’s start spreading rumours about this enthralling duo and their new notable score.
