Kitchen Plug’s “Nice To Meet You” is a genre-defiant playground where punk’s raw grit collides with neon-lit electro in a way only this Parisian trio could orchestrate. “A three-headed creature of weird molecules and good chemistry,” the band thrives on contradictions: their sound is both chaotic and precise, nerdy yet irresistibly cool. The 5-track parcel – set for release on digital and vinyl via Paris-based indie imprint Chat Noir – feels like a fever dream of synth-soaked rebellion, blending brash energy with moments of unexpected vulnerability. Imagine three misfits hijacking a retro arcade, armed with drum machines and a devil-may-care attitude, and you’re halfway there. It’s music that refuses to sit still, swapping homework for hedonism without losing its heart.
Now, meet “La Nuit” – the EP’s acid-drenched crown jewel. A punchy, edgy manifesto, the track weaponises distorted synths and snarling basslines into a dance-floor grenade. The trio leans into their Punk-meets-Electro roots here, layering jagged electronic textures with a sneering vocal delivery that feels like a midnight dare. It’s restless and urgent, like a strobe-lit chase through Parisian back alleys, where every twist amps the adrenaline. Yet beneath the chaos, there’s a sly groove that hooks you, proving Kitchen Plug’s genius lies in balancing chaos with cunning. If “Nice To Meet You” is their anarchic handshake, “La Nuit” is the moment they drag you into the party – no apologies, all teeth.
