Rubberlover<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is the new single by\u00a0KICK<\/strong>, out now\u00a0via\u00a0Anomic Records<\/strong>\u00a0(Germany),\u00a0Dischi Sotterranei<\/strong>\u00a0(Italy) and\u00a0Sour Grapes<\/strong>\u00a0(United Kingdom). Like the full\u00a0new album<\/strong>\u00a0to be released on\u00a0March 16th, 2022<\/strong>, the song was produced with\u00a0Marco Fasolo<\/strong>\u00a0(Jennifer Gentle, I Hate My Village).<\/p>\n

Very active also live, both in Italy and abroad,\u00a0KICK<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0Chiara Amalia Bernardini<\/strong>\u00a0(vocals, bass, lyrics) and\u00a0Nicola Mora<\/strong>\u00a0(guitars, electric piano, synths, samplers). Their sound combines rough elements and others more dreamy in a sound that could ideally be defined\u00a0“sweet noise”<\/strong>, a style on their own melting the noise with the softness of the atmosphere, without any limits of genre. The background of the duo from Brescia ranges from the hypnosis of\u00a0trip hop<\/strong>to\u00a0stoner<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0desert rock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After the previous singles\u00a0Setting Tina<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– featuring Scott Reeder (Kyuss) – and\u00a0Sirens Never Sleep<\/strong><\/em>, the brand new single\u00a0Rubberlover\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>continues\u00a0a natural change of direction compared to what was previously released by the Italian band (the debut album\u00a0Mothers<\/em>\u00a0of 2016 and the EP\u00a0Post-Truth<\/em>\u00a0of 2018): the sound become less electronic and at the same time more analogue, minimal and heavy.<\/p>\n

The imperious and ambivalent trend of\u00a0Rubberlover<\/em><\/strong>, featuring Fasolo on the electric piano and Christian Bindelli from the band \u00a0a\/lpaca on the backing vocals, is a perfect example of this new sound and goes well with lyrics that investigate a cross-section of BDSM practice. “We are fascinated by exploring the dynamics of power versus submission established between two consenting adults, and by how, in the narrating voice, requests for submission coexist with more typical requests for amorous sweetness<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Premiered on It’s Psychedelic Baby Mag<\/strong><\/a>, the black and white\u00a0videoclip<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Rubberlover<\/em>\u00a0is inspired by Film Noir, developed on the thin thread that separates light and dark, good and evil, eroticism and violence.\u00a0Moving between lakes full of mystery, sinister woods and vintage cars, KICK play the characters of a real hard boiled story. According to the\u00a0director Olga Karatzioti-B: “The video was inspired by Film Noir and 60’s movies by Francis Ford Coppola. I had just watched\u00a0<\/em>Dementia 13\u00a0when I spent a few days in Sweden by this lake with barely any houses or people around. It was really beautiful and the resemblance to the mood of that movie excited me, so I filmed a lot of footage there.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Later on we added the main characters, filmed via Zoom. I think that adds an interesting twist to it as it perfectly represents the difficulties of our time and the way we are using technology to solve them<\/em>“.<\/p>\n
