Active at first in the late 70s/early 80s and now alive and kicking again, KKD were coming from Modena (Italy). Taking an ex hotel as headquarter where experimenting with sounds and graphics, they took the post punk / new wave sounds as a starting point just to let their imagination run free. If tracks like "Sound From The Universe" were sounding quite standard for that period, others like "I Need Help", "Stalin Strategy" or "Kippur" were examples of their will to break the boundaries of genres. Even if they were using bass and guitars, they were filtering them through the Korg MS20 synth, creating in this way a post wave hybrid. The sign that their intuitions were good was showed also from the fact that Ralph Records appreciated them but, unluckily, we had the chance to check only two of their songs on the ultra rare compilation "First Relation" released in 1983 by Lisfrank's label Man Mask: "House TV" and "And In Your Mind". Now, thanks to Synthetic Shadows, a wider audience is able to check KKD music by purchasing the LP "Stars Behind The Sun", a compilation album that gathers fourteen tracks composed from 1979 to 1983. On this album there's no rip off track and you'll have the chance to have a glimpse of their music. Prepare yourself for dark post punk, minimal wave experimentations, new wave catchy melodies and more!
