Kelli Dayton was the singer, songwriter and guitar player on this three-track seven inch single that predated her involvement in the
Sneaker Pimps. I ripped this from the vinyl but I'm no audiophile so the processing is minimal. And there's no date on the record so I'm not sure where to place it in the subgeneral context of British rock. The title track "Cinder Hearts" is a punky little tune,
Buzzcocks-style. Second track "Starry Eyes" is a ballad that shows off Kelli's growing vocal talent but she sounds more like
Siouxsie Sioux than she did in later projects. The last track "In the Blue (Special Murder Version)" is slight, but the sultry speaking/singing voice she used later on tracks like the Sneaker Pimps' "Spin Spin Sugar" is already in place.
Also included in this download is a sample of Kelli (now Ali, not Dayton)'s more recent work, a remix of a track from an album she cut with Japanese group
Dropz.
