Sharp Pins- Balloon Balloon Balloon

Label: K Records

Released 2025

For KAI SLATER (a.k.a. “SHARP PINS”) has tuned to the radio-freak-uency of the YOUTH UNDERGROUND (the sleeptalking pirateradio of dreams). With paisley sleeves dragged heavy by his heart, SHARP PINS reintroduces us to a memory buried deep in our veins. Reinventing a past that never existed. Carving POP Arty-facts into teenage bedrooms that remind us our BODIES ARE MEANT TO DANCE. Why must it all “TAKE SO LONG”? What marks “BALLOON BALLOON BALLOON” as thee “Next Thing,” is the willingness — Nay, obligation — to show today’s teenboppers that Love is not something to hide from. Rather, there is no truer art than boldly selling one’s heart to the slaughterhaus. Let the radiowaves carry our secret messages and prayers and swollen tears. For a song is a mirror — if only we could see clearly!
