Vinyl | Phoebe Killdeer & Mélanie Pain - Kill The Pain

Kill The Pain? What is it? A cross between Les Rita Mitsouko and Dolly Parton? A surprising duo featuring Australian Phoebe Killdeer, singer-songwriter of the international #1 hit “Fade Out Lines,” and French Mélanie Pain, the voice behind the successful band “Nouvelle Vague.” Two contrasting personalities, navigating from one style to another, blending references and influences, from Carmen McRae to The Slits, from the raw energy of ESG to the poetic musicality of Peggy Lee, from the passion of Patti Smith to the vocal provocations of Kim Gordon. Kill The Pain is a musical kaleidoscope, a joyful mess, a deliberate helter-skelter of Latin percussion, funky bass, stinging electric guitars, uninhibited vocals, Afrobeat drums, and 80s keyboards. In the vein of eccentric women in pop culture, the duo embraces the absurdity of the world and revels in the joy of being together. Kill The Pain invites us to take unexpected paths. And we gladly follow.
