Dream pop power trio from South London, Kitchens of Distinction (KOD), combined early shoegaze and straight-forward Brit-pop melodies with some of the most clever lyrics to surface in the early 1990s.The band hit the U.K. indie scene with the album Love is Hell, featuring "Prize," a track New Order might have written if they teamed up with Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine in 1989.Their second album, Strange Free World, which showcased the band's brilliant tender tongue and cheek, bass driven, shimmering guitar-laden jams like, "Drive That Fast."

But it's like the band is still singing out its soul with, "Now It's Time to Say Goodbye" and taking their last buoyant bow and knowing that this is it.
