(AU magazine September 2008)
(ONE LITTLE INDIAN)
From the cover, Fast, Cheap And Out Of Control looks like just another indie band - it even comes with a press-issue cigarette in the CD spine, which is surely something The Paddingtons once dismissed as "too contrived"? Anyway, the record herein is not particularly fast, cheap or out of control. In fact, HK119 aka Heidi Kilpelainen boasts all the chaos of Italian 1980's hair-pop songstress Spagna. The most striking thing about it all is the distinct lack of genre - HK119 shrugs on Europop and electrodisco with all the ease of donning a cheap dress - but ultimately it's all laughably "emperor's new clothes".
