It's Yours

indie duo h. kink (the alter-superego of lisa rieffel and timm sharp) are two los angeleans renouncing 20th century linear songwriting in favor of something a little less definable, a bit sassier and harder to pin down.

faintly art-rock, with a theatrical, funhouse lean -- h. kink dive similar experimental depths as of montreal or cocteau twins... but with decidedly arousing self-production techniques (acoustic guitar recorded on a rite-aid lapel mic) that instantly become fully produced when looped frantically through the montserrat neve modules and urei 1176ln compressors at wendy & lisa's fabled bungalow studios wherein the duo recorded and mixed their debut album 'wish i were here', in early 2019.

while sticking mainly to the assortments of dirty bar-bathroom femmepop, the duo occasionally swim into more languid waters, such as love balladry or pseudo-country... before departing instantly back into its comfort zone which is postpost post-adolescent pop-heat loops, tunnel-visioned ass shakers propelled by psychedelic shrapnel, harmonizing and tripping along until the pills wear off, the sun comes up, or probably both.

bipolar mood swings, an obsession with 818-hollywood, lust, and self-loathing/discovery, all jammed into thumping pop-voids take us to the far left of what can be accomplished when locked inside a hot, windowless room outfitted with nothing but a midi controller, an acoustic guitar, and a laptop...
