Twee Kitten review of Living Incinerator
by Keith McLachlan

I bought this record because in the description I read with amazement "includes Russel and Lincoln from Moose", so as Russell Yates is one of my favorite singers I rushed to get this record, but d'oh! It turns out it is Russell and Lincoln Fong, no Yates to be found, but hey although it surely would have been a better record with Russell Yates on vocals this is one of those charming, sweet, jangly records that most listeners will be hard pressed to deny its merits.
   All of the songs were written by Lincoln Fong (and all this time i thought he was just a passenger on the Moose express) and Lincoln's style is not all that different from KJ McKillop so the spectre of Moose permeates a lot of this record but the pace is a little more deliberate and the atmosphere sometimes reminds me a bit of prime Sarah Records material. Lots of strings and few sweet accents with delicate female vocals to combine with the nice vocals provided by some guy named Hamish Mackintosh???? No idea where he came from but I hope he sticks around as he is somewhere along the spectrum between Morrissey and Stuart Murdoch, generic but in a good way.
   If you are a fan of classic sounding pop in the same neighborhood of say Cardinal, Moose or the Orchids, well then I probably can't find any reasons for you not to like this record.
