Encouraged by the fantastic feedback, the band took a conscious risk and began recording their debut album with no record deal in sight. Soon after hearing about this, Svart Records struck a deal with the band, whose brave blend of power pop, street rock and catchy choruses is only becoming more multifaceted and personal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKiss Disease\\u2019s debut album, titled You Met Me at a Strange Time, is based on the raw and sour force displayed on the garage punk EP from last year. On the other hand, the band wanted to expand their sound to a grander and more versatile direction. The guidelines were sought from the worlds of power pop and protopunk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\u201cThe core of our album is formed by a strong group effort. The songs were written both together and by everyone on their own, with the whole band having a say on their final form. This time we took influences from a wider spectrum, and it\\u2019s precisely this lack of a clear guideline that made us pursue a more emancipated and personal version of our sound\\u201d, says the band\\u2019s lead guitarist Alex St\\xf6d.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band\\u2019s sound has evolved greatly in the last year. You Met Me at a Strange Time is diverse, fierce, sensitive, and surprising, all at the same time. According to singer\/guitarist Ella Laine, an existential transformation of some sort took place amid album\\u2019s creation:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\u201cFor me personally, this album embodies some sort of turning point between adulthood and the craziness of adolescence, a place where you sit up and take notice of first yourself and then the people around you. Difficult and untold situations are squeezed from between the lines in the lyrics, revealing both everything and absolutely nothing.\\u201d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first single Season Creep took a while for the song to be born since the band\\u2019s style was expanding from straightforward punk songs towards a more melodic expression.\u003cp\u003eAlpha Maid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Met Me At A Strange Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeed 'n' Doubt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarger Than Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeason Creep\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown-up F**ks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull-Time Mime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoney Sheets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife Is Passing Me By\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBare Feet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127636246913,"sku":"1576358","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41pa8LRVEbL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766694583","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1576358","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
