Kiss + Swallow


Kiss + Swallow is the debut album by IAMX and was released on 13 July 2004. It mostly consists of tracks that were recorded for the unreleased fourth studio album by Sneaker Pimps, which is dubbed "SP4" by the fans.

Overview

Kiss + Swallow was an extreme departure from Chris Corner's work with Sneaker Pimps.
Almost completely electronic, the album incorporates driving synth-rock, lush, atmospheric, melody driven ballads and groove-based, erotic electro. The album was recorded entirely in Chris Corner's private home studio in London between late 2003 and early 2004.
A demo version of this album also exists. This so-called "US Promo" was leaked to the internet shortly after the official release. Most tracks are similar to the finished product. However, some tracks, such as "Skin Vision", "Simple Girl", "Sailor" and "You Stick It In Me" " was previously released on the "Kiss & Swallow" single.
On 17 June 2008 Kiss + Swallow was re-released in the US. This release carries an alternative cover.
