“It is the funnest anti-establishment music I have ever put in my ears.” – Nanobot

“Imaginative artists of the first order. A knockout psych-rock/candy-pop debut album.” – adequacy.net

Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock duo TKTTSM (an acronym for The Kiss Tried To Smack Me that is pronounced “tick-uh-tism”) released its debut album today and will celebrate tonight during CMJ with a record release party at Kingston Hall (see details above). The self-titled album is streaming in its entirety courtesy of AOL/Spinner here: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/spinner#/19.

The band is also celebrating the album’s release by posting an exclusive remix of its first single “Plastic Fantastic” by remix artist NAOAN. The track can be heard streaming at Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/fanaticpro/tkttsm-plastic-fantastic-naoan-remix.

Chicago’s tastemaking station WXRT recently posted the original album version of the song for download, noting a sound “that mixes experimental instrumentals with pop vocals,” and the windy city’s Chicagoist website weighed in with its own take on the track, stating thatStahley’s vocals “cut through the walls of sound and hit you in the face like a knife that's so cold it burns…”

TKTTSM’s does indeed balance the weight of O’Mahony’s instrumentation with Stahley’s skewed pop vocals for a perfect representation of this band’s love of exploration, animals, exercise, and freedom, and their dislike of cops, politicians, financial institutions and any other power hungry villains.
