Copenhagen’s Kind of Girl specialise in bass heavy synth-pop doused in the sweet addictive vocal melodies of lead singer Sissel. Lonely in A Modern Way marks the debut album from a band bursting with ideas on combining rock, electro and atmospheric elements to write addictive and inspiring pop songs. Touring the world in the back of a van has brought Kind of Girl hoards of fans, internationally, who have helped push the band into Lastfm’s Most Downloaded Chart, where their music has been downloaded over 2 million times. In the coming months the band bring their show, and their van, to the UK for some select London gigs around the release of the album’s first single ‘Slave To Your Charms’.

Toxic Pete's review of Debut Album "Lonely in a Modern Way"
Kind Of Girl are a three-piece (plus 1?) from Copenhagen and bring with them infectious and vibrant electro-pop of the highest order. This aint over-synthed, multi-digitised or excessively computer driven pop, this is stylishly crafted singalongapop that uses a bit of programming mixed in with the more conventional guitars, bass and keys. Vocalist Sissel uses her sharp but sexy intonations to transport the Kind Of Girl message from within the precise and well structured instrumental backdrop. The Kind of Girl music machine is one that specialises in the sweet and harmonious rather than full-on rock-block and angular; Kind Of Girl fuse and dilute rock with pop and deliver their brightly catchy songs with typical Scandinavian drive and relish. Precision seems to be a particular strong point within the whole Kind Of Girl pop ethos; Kind Of Girl have mixed and produced this album with massive attention to detail such that every subtle nuance can be clearly heard and felt. 'Lonely In A Modern Way' is primarily a sensitive and laid back album especially when played at respectfully low volume. But, the 'beast' takes on a whole new personality if you really up the ante and give it some db's. 'Lonely In A Modern Way' is a flexible and moody work that you can either chill out to or get down and manic with - nothing gets lost at either end of the volume spectrum - all is beautifully balanced and well proportioned. There are ten pretty cute tracks to get into here which run out at a succinct thirty-five minutes - ten typically curt pop jottings that get the job done quickly and don't hang around long enough to become irksome. 'Lonely In A Modern Way' by Kind Of Girl is hard to find fault with; the whole album has been lovingly set out and beautifully presented with an eye steadfastly on the commercial aspects. Definitely sitting at the softer end of pop-rock, this is inoffensive, maturely created, thoughtful pop music rather than a bucket load of blatant banality - Kind Of Girl have quite obviously put their hearts and souls into its creation and their nurturing and coddling have paid big dividends.
