Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Power pop quartet Kaito camouflage their noise with melody and then cut the melodies on Have You Seen Us... to shreds with impeccable noise. Still, you'll be fooled by their disguise--the sweet "shoop shoops" of guitarist Nikki (with the occasional help of an uncorked chorus) will lull you into a 50s girl group reverie before you notice all the Stooge-like sprawl and growl going on behind the scenes. Or you may be surprised by the mayhem that surrounds the order: the sounds of an obtuse Le Tigre or a much more rhythmic Shaggs. One thing's for sure, Kaito are punk in their boundless spirit, but very pop in their execution. They take samples of the sound of things breaking and make you want to dance, and they chant their rants like Brassy's Muffin Spencer, but with multiple accents and effects for good measure. None of these flourishes are expected, and none are wasted either. You've seen us... you must have seen us..., co-produced by the band with Owen Turner (Magoo), is very likely a Best of 2001 contender. --Cyndi Elliott

3.0 out of 5 stars Personal taste..., 19 Jul 2004
This review is from: You've Seen Us... You Must Have Seen Us... (Audio CD)
KaitO are a band that I'm quite a fan of, but I can understand why their music is not quite as popular as I, at least, would like it to be. Their music is danceable and experimental, and this is an album that I do not have to be in a certain mood or frame of mind to listen to; its main downfall is the vocal content, to be honest. After a few tracks, the whine does start to grate on me a little, but I love to have at least one KaitO track on any compilation I make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Under Appreciated, 15 Sep 2003
This review is from: You've Seen Us... You Must Have Seen Us... (Audio CD)
Why does it seem that no one cares about KaitO? KaitO prove themselves to be a more than worthy band in every respect on this album, as well as being talented tune-smiths into the bargain. (Check out 'Go' and 'Catnap' especially). From the jumpy party anthem of 'Thwipside' to the closing track 'Manual Speed', this is a kicker of an album from start to finish. A brilliantly under appreciated band : KaitO.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good debut offering from top local band!, 13 Feb 2002
By Man in uniform (Dereham, Norfolk, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
The pop sensibilities of KaitO are obvious here. Beneath the 'found sounds' and walls of guitar fuzz there are some suprb sing-along melodies here. Nikki's voice floats over the mayhem created by drum/bass interaction and Dave's superb guitar work. Having said this, the lyrics are almost always unintelligible, and more to do with adding to the melody rather than forming something independent of it.

Some may find this a tad challenging on the first listen, but it is an album worthy of sticking with. Highlights are "catnap", "bow wow" and "so-so".

There is no real weakness to this album, but I have given it 4 stars because it shows potential for the KaitO sound to develop into something astonishing, which may be more apparent on the forthoming ep.
