Press

Melancholic, tangy. Self-Sabotage, Kicking The Habit's debut album, is a dreampop chapel lit by candlelight and irreproachable 90's references. A sound massage guaranteed. Kicking The Habit works wonders with very little (simple, precise production that goes straight to the point; the record is very pleasant to listen to), never spreading itself too thin with superfluous arrangements or vain digressions, for the ADA editorial team, it's a real "coup de coeur".

Fused the melancholic genius with the powerful melodic energy. Oscillates between baroque pop marvels and poignantly arid electric bursts. The dark side of the record, infinitely touching, carried by Renée's extraordinary voice. Yet this darkness is mingled with the beauty of sumptuous melodies and arrangements, propelling KtH to the pinnacle of classy rock. An album that strolls, so elegantly, from one state of mind to another. And it quickly becomes addictive. Far, far from a bad habit.

2. Kicking The Habit “Self-Sabotage” Kicking The Habit, an intriguing, touching, direct and charming record, an accident like few others. When you launch a webzine, you do it (well, I did) to discover new things. With Self Sabotage, I feel like a gold-digger who's stumbled across a nugget as big as a rock from which he can live for a long time. This record is my new security blanket, hopefully for the next 50 years.
