"The densely layered creations have an in-your-face edge that sounds like Rob Zombie’s up close recording style, and the comparisons hardly end there. Curse & Kisses fosters a similar vibe of scariness and sensuality. “Stone Cold Freak” is unrepentantly horny, full of twisting guitar riffs, psychedelic touches, and fluid bass grooves. The album’s soul is as firmly entrenched in hell as it is in the heaven of the bedroom or dance floor. The vocals in “Stone Cold Freak” range from Lenny Kravitz-like soul-slinging to fiery growling, and the music also shifts constantly between heavy riffing and delicate funk rock. By the song’s end, though, the flames are licking ever higher. An impassioned female voice wails over a churning maelstrom created by relentless guitars and intense singing. "
