Liverpool outfit The Kairos follow the critical acclaim of ‘Thick Of It’ with their new single ‘Price On Peace’ (P.O.P). It is the second single to be taken from their upcoming EP ‘Better Late Than Never’ due out on 19th May. Image courtesy of The Songbird HQ.
Where the ‘Thick of It’ had more prolonged grooves before erupting, ‘P.O.P’ struts with jagged licks looking for a fight from the off. When it’s let off its leash, a feral display 60s r’n’b akin to their former peers The Shakes and The View explode into life.
There’s a playfulness to ‘P.O.P’ which refuses to allow The Kairos to be pigeonholed. Whether it’s adding aggression to the guitars of ‘Come Together’ or McCartney’s ‘Live and Let Die’ stomp emerging from the chorus, The Kairos keep cutting and pasting the hooks. It lends itself a playfulness only Spangled can match in today’s world.
On this showing, ‘Better Late Than Never’ is becoming one of the most anticipated Ep’s of 2023.
