Meanstreet Review...thanks Nickki
Collide, a Los Angeles based duo comprised of kaRIN (vocals) and Statik
(programming), creates music that marries exquisite vocals with orchestrated
layers of sounds. The band's latest release, "Chasing the Ghost",
weaves together complex tapestries of rhythm, melody and texture in which
kaRIN's velvety vocals and poetic lyrics add a beautifully human element
to Statik's moody electronic washes and machine generated sounds. "Wings
of Steel", an ethereal erotic piece reflects the bands gothic roots
while "Halo's" infusion of eastern dance imagery and club friendly
beats showcases the band's industrial nature. Not to be overlooked is
Collide's mystical version of Jefferson airplane's "White Rabbit,"
which is utterly delectable. Overall, "Chasing the Ghost" is
a pleasurable feast of rhythms-- offering up a perfect balance between
sound and vision.
