product details & reviews
'Partie Traumatic' is the debut LP release from indie rock darlings Black Kids, a bracing and invigorating affair with no small amount of hype behind it. Produced by ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and featuring the singles 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You' and 'Hurricane Jane', this record balances the zeal of youth with an arch, almost literary twist. Though the songs themselves are rip-roaring, the sentiments behind them often sum up simple emotional and social truths deftly. With influences ranging from 60s guitar pop to 80s post-punk, 'Partie Traumatic' is intelligent and fun guitar music for the noughties audience.
Apr 2008
In a matter of months the Black Kids came from obscurity to become one of the most talked-about bands around, all on the basis of four songs posted on the band's MySpace page and a lot of buzz among music bloggers. Hailing from Jacksonville, FL, they combine bouncy '60s-style pop, '80s new wave atmospherics, and upbeat dance grooves played with a playful, organic spirit.

Great single, average album
15 July, 2008
Great first single, pretty good second one and a cheap way of getting both. the rest of the album is pretty teeny bop and okay but that's about the best you can say.

11 July, 2008
This is one of the best albums I have bought for ages. Can't understand why people don't like it, they clearly don't appericiate good music. In my opinion this is a must buy album.

different

this is a good debut by the black kids. there are a couple of tracks that really stand out such as the singles not gonna teach your boyfriend and hurricane jane but many other tracks fade into the background which is disapointing. another major highlight though is the title track. one of the absolute highlights on the album
