“Kittycat lollipop, you scare me.” Kelly Davis,

This is the horror soundtrack for everyday life. kittycat lollipop are musical collaborators Mark Randall Loveland II and Christopher Smith Adair. Their friendship goes back to high school, that long-ago time of hope and disappointment. Some dreams die, others stagger on.

The music of kittycat lollipop is electronic, created with synthesizers and sequencers. The songs have a pop flair to them, bouncing melodies combining with danceable beats. But they can treacherously turn brooding and menacing at any moment.

The lyrics have a personal, confessional nature. At the same time, they have an abstract, symbolic quality to them, leaving enough room for the listener to enter and inhabit the songs. The songs are about relationships disintegrating, mired in dishonesty and the inability to communicate. Or they are about nostalgia for youthful hope and energy, and impotent regret for their loss. They are about inertia; they are about entropy.

The synthetic music and haunted vocals come together to create an experience at times melancholy, at times frightening, but always and forever its own.
