Kaada: Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time - PopMatters Music Review (856 words)
Kaada's album, called Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time, is a highly confounding piece of work, one that's capable of moving a person to tears one moment, and royally creeping a person out the next.
Kaada is apparently quite popular over there in his Nordic homeland (the album was originally released there in 2001), and depending on your reaction to this album, the collective taste of Norwegians will seem either very impressive, or highly disturbing.
Kaada's choice of songs, namely obscure pop gems from the late '50s and early '60s, and his bare-bones accompaniment, has somewhat of a David Lynchian quality, one that evokes warm thoughts, but also gives you the feeling that there's some pretty nasty business happening beneath the surface.
Splendid Magazine reviews Kaada & Patton: Romances (506 words)
By utilizing Patton's voice solely as another instrument, Kaada has kept his bleak sonic palette relatively uncluttered; he never foists opinion or circumstance upon his listeners, instead forcing them to forge their own paths through the darkness.
Though he's not the marquee draw here, Kaada's spectral vision of unrealized societies and jagged moon craters forms the bedrock upon which Patton adds his flights of vocal fancy, sounding at once like a wounded sparrow, a malfunctioning arpeggiator and the living embodiment of John Philip Sousa's sourest dreams.
Kaada is the creator, Patton is the decorator, and together, they've fashioned a gruesomely beautiful universe that misfits, milky-eyeds and malcontents alike would be proud to call home.
