Band: LONELY LITTLE KITSCH
Who: Two-piece alt-rock band from Niagara, Canada featuring
vocalist Kristen Goetz and guitarist Nolan Jodes. What started as
a way to pass the time during the pandemic, soon became a more
serious project as fully formed songs took shape.
Goetz: “This song is a particularly personal one for me. As someone who has severe
anxiety and constant panic attacks, it’s always interesting to speak to anyone who has
never experienced either one. So “ill at ease” is sort of an answer to the question, “what
does a panic attack feel like for you?”
Jodes: “I think the music was built around that opening riff…I had been stuck in a loop with no clear transition to the chorus or bridge so there was natural suspense and uneasiness building in my mind, and I almost scrapped the whole song when Kris came in with this really great melody and honest lyrics showing her vulnerability- it clicked!
TUTV: I know (I struggled for several years with bipolar issues) that it’s damn hard to
open up about mental health. Kudos to vocalist Kristen Goetz and husband Nolan for doing it with this liberating and rigid rocker that cruises from left to right and back, pushed by an unyielding bass/drum collaboration, psyched up guitars, poigant singing and a bonkers chorus. Again, music show its healing strength.
