Kiss Before You Go

Kiss Before You Go

2012 album from the Norwegian four-piece, all-girl outfit of multi-instrumentalists who perform swinging, singing, cowboy-inspired fairground burlesque with all-out riotous, folk, pop and gypsy punk. Katzenjammer are Anne-Marit, Marianne, Solveig and Turid, and a Kiss Before You Go was produced by Mike Hartung (Maelstrom, Jagga Jazzist, A-Ha) in Oslo. The album's a vibrant hotchpotch of Balkan flavors, cabaret clubs, comic strips and straight up pop; they rip up the rule book good and proper with this boundary defying LP, offering twelve songs which are as eclectic as they are identifiably Katzenjammer.
