The music of the newly re-branded Kinsella & Pulse, LLC—previous albums by the duo were released as Good Fuck and simply Tim Kinsella & Jenny Pulse—contains some of the most forward-thinking postmodern pop of the past decade. Their latest, Open ing Night, follows 2023’s acclaimed Giddy Skelter and delivers a tantalizing left turn that finds the maverick experimentalists’ restless imaginations and formidable skills undiminished.
“Brutal, The Way You Like” is the second single taken from the album being released by Kill Rock Stars on April 18, and it is released today, accompanied by a music video shot in Italy and directed by Sua Yoo.
About the track, Tim Kinsella comments : “This song changed both shape & feel a few times before ending up in this state. We played it instrumental on tour last yr & it felt real proggy. Then I worked out a vocal part, but just couldn’t get it to sit right. Then we recorded a wild version in Italy w/ Theo playing crazy double-time breakbeat drums. Finally we landed on this duo version, Jen singing from the perspective of an American aristocrat stunned to find herself a refugee. ”
