On “Bermuda,” LA’s KISSES deftly combine the clean, synth-driven throwback disco of some Morgan Geist productions and the male vocals that helped define the ’80s New Romantic sound. Vintage synths, bright jangly guitars, and dusty beats ride below a voice that recalls a more full-throated Tony Hadley (of Spandau Ballet). With a sound that sits nicely next to the Smiths as well as Geist’s recent collaborations with Jeremy Greenspan, KISSES’ upcoming full-length just might lead to a new New Romantic revival.
