After The Kik has often put elements of the 60s into their music, the group around Dave Von Raven moves closer to the present with Jin. The 70s and 80s that is. The synthesizers (and therefore no more organs) are more than emphatically present and are still placed under tight and fast rhythms. The lyrics are again provided with good portions of humor, as evidenced by the punchline at the end of Don
… Juan & Casanova. Jin is unmistakably The Kik, witty and not too complicated, but effective in its simplicity. The addition of analog synthesizers also offers something new for anyone who now knows how the band's sixties sound sounds. (JvQ)more
