Bluebottle Kiss - Ounce of Your Cruelty FOD 029 Stripped of the brutal intensity of previous recordings and defining a new territory for Bluebottle Kiss, Ounce of Your Cruelty is something of a surprise package with its sweetly addictive guitars and lyrics lamenting the demise of a recent relationship. With rock sound magazine championing the languid yet compelling, Ounce of Your Cruelty as: Sounding like the bastard cousins of Coldplay...this four-piece band strike a mighty opening blow with this balmy, dreamy single. Their song writing skills hark back to early '80s troubadours like The Go-Betweens...but Ben Fletcher's guitar adds poignancy, while Jamie Hutchings' uniquely caressing voice proves very seductive. Being quoted in such great company comes as nothing of a surprise to a band blessed with a rich song writing talent that can change climate whenever the mood is appropriate. Having enlisted the production skills of Zac and Krevis (At the Drive-In) to produce this UK debut release, and with a forthcoming album also enrolling the mercurial talent that is Jack Endino (Nirvana), Bluebottle Kiss is that rare breed of band who genuinely deserve the plaudits that are so often bounded about. Ounce of Your Cruelty is a bittersweet song basking in past glories and present heartaches. Bluebottle Kiss: Jamie Hutchings (lead vocals/guitar) Ben Fletcher (guitar/vocals) Richard Coneliano (drums) Ben Grounds (bass)
