'Broken Voyage' is KIT's debut full-length about adventure, secrets, escape and the night. The album is an energetic blast of innovation and fun, with songs running in unpredictable yet ever electrifying directions. "Fixed Compass" is a hyperactive call-to-arms of gang chants and gnarly guitar duelling, which builds to an explosion only to regroup with slowly unfolding carnage. "Coast Of Arms" is a queasy seasick rampage, punctuated with a frantic drum breakdown and an urgent vocal from Kristy - a barrage of punked noise which descends into spectral electronic oddness, before triumphantly seizing the party pulse once more.
KIT don't stand on ceremony, they make their point, move on, then make another point, always with an intrepid sense of discovery in the heart of their sound. 'Broken Voyage' is an album of juxtaposition and invention, as surprising as it is involving - an incredible genre-leaping debut from a band on a mission to startle the life back into music.
