Kid Gulliver - Kiss And Tell (2023)

Standing at 8 songs and 25 minutes, the new album by Kid Gulliver (Boston) is in that gray area between EP and LP. I’ve put it in the full length category for the simple reason that it’s packed with hits. Kid Gulliver is just such a likeable band, and Simone Berk (who sings) and David Armillotti (who composes) have a way of making the bitter sound super sweet. On Kiss And Tell, Kid Gulliver serve up dishes that have elements of power pop (The Go-Go’s), tweepunk (Tullycraft) and bubblegum (Archies) and it’s super tasty. The first 25 seconds of I’ve Got A Picture Of You is jangle power pop heaven, and I frequently find myself restarting the song, even though the remainder of the song is pop perfect as well. It’s one of many standouts on the album. Be warned: Kid Gulliver will make your heart go POP with their latest and greatest record.
