8 Bit Lover

Released 9/15/23

Written and Produced by Space Kiddettes

Mixed by Jorge Elbrecht

Mastered by Angel Marcloid aka Fire-Toolz

Introducing Space Kiddettes' latest single, "8 Bit Lover" – a dynamic fusion of energetic pop melodies and electrifying guitar riffs. This catchy track draws inspiration from classic video games, infusing the spirit of pixelated adventures into the realm of love and attraction lyrically juxtaposing the journey of falling in love, or perhaps even lust, with the mechanics of a video game. As the listener dives into the song, they'll be met with clever analogies and playful comparisons that vividly portray the exhilarating experience of navigating the complexities of a new romantic connection. "8 Bit Lover" is a delightful musical escapade that combines nostalgia, high-octane pop, and a touch of whimsical romance, inviting all to join Space Kiddettes and "play" along.

"In a world filled with minimalistic aesthetics and narrow sonic visions, queer pop duo Space Kiddettes have always veered for a more authentic, less refined, and neon-colored approach. Their latest single, “8-Bit Lover” is the perfect showcase for their obsession with ’80s pop and rogue synths. Over thrashing guitar, Devin Will and Trent Lira sing about an electronic and glitchy romance, harnessing a Devo-esque authority." - Queerty

Dead To Me

Released 10/27/21

Written and Produced by Space Kiddettes

Mixed by Jorge Elbrecht

Mastered by Briana Wolf

The inspiration for Dead to Me came from the emotional turbulence of 2020. It shook everyone’s foundations, and in doing so showed us which relationships we really value and which ones need to be cut off at the root. A danceable ode to scorn...

"an emotional and evocative bop. From its opening notes, the track sounds like Devo on a sweat-drenched, late-night dance floor as vocalists Trent Lira and Devin Will begin to spill on a toxic romance. However, it's the sugary sweet-sounding chorus and its deceptively severe lyrics that stick long past the first listen" - MTV Bop Shop

"When it comes to a (insert gender identity here) scorned, hell hath no fury like Houston's hottest queer pop duo Space Kiddettes. "Dead To Me" is "danceable ode to scorn," with kiss-off lyrics and a hook you can sing while breakin' dishes." - Houston Citybook

DEADSPACE

Released 11/22/19

Written and Produced by Space Kiddettes

Mixed and Mastered by John Allen Stephens at Third Coast Recording Studio

On this release, you'll find collaborations queer and female indetifying artists who have made a name for themselves in their respective styles and sounds. Tee Vee brings her ethereal and dream-pop sound to the playful and bright "Speak Out," Hank Honey's swaggering and sexy production blends with wavy synths and rhythmic vocals on "CYCLE," biting lyricism and STOO's cheeky bars collide on the energetic electro-pop anthem "P.S.A," and the Gulf-Coast soul of Kam Franklin meets Space City synth-pop in the dance-floor ready track "Shine a Light." These collaborations are intertwined with Space Kiddettes' fan favorites like "Burn Down the Disco" and "Scary Boy" plus brand new songs "Buggin" and "Don't Call Me." These tracks are all book ended with a dark tech-house remix of "Square" (the opening track from Domestic Adventures) by Houston underground DJ and producer Kirrrby.

"Space Kiddettes just took a big step forward in their sonic evolution[...] Recalling British Hi-NRG and new wave acts like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Bronski Beat, the production work is solid and exciting. The highlight comes via "Shine a Light," featuring The Suffers' frontwoman Kam Franklin, a dancefloor banger straight from 1985 London. Highly recommended." - Houston Culturemap

"Synth-pop duo Space Kiddettes captures the quirky energy of its live shows on “Deadspace.” It’s their best yet..." - Houston Chronicle

Domestic Adventures E.P.

Released: 11/2/18

Written and Produced by Space Kiddettes

Mixed and Mastered by John Allen Stephens at Third Coast Recording Studio

In the first expedition into the Space Kiddettes universe, Domestic Adventures finds the duo questioning the ordinary and what truly makes someone "extraordinary." Is life predetermined or do have a chance to change the course set out for us? Is domesticity the goal or an added bonus to an otherwise fulfilling life? From the opening track "Square" to the final track "Crash and Burn," Space Kiddettes take the audience on a hyperactive and whirling journey of dance and synth-pop tambours to explore these aforementioned feelings while highlighting some tried and true sonic and thematic pop staples with a twisted perspective.

"An artistic leap forward in every conceivable way, from songwriting to performance to production to just straight up confidence. "Square", "Plain", and "OutRun" are the real stars, from the Coyote Bloodbath spoken word section bleeding into the punk-style bridge in "Square", to the downtrodden verses leading into cascading synth choruses in "Plain" and pulsing laser leads in "OutRun"- Under the Counter Tapes

"Their playful banter extends into Space Kiddettes’ candy-coated yet angsty synth-pop tunes. 'Domestic Adventures' is a confetti-splattered delight that delves into meaty material through their lyrics, often sung in unison on the album. The anxiety-ridden lyrics of the band’s standout track, “Low Impact Aerobics" is a sentiment to which many millennials can relate." - Houston Citybook

"With Domestic Adventures, Space Kiddettes cultivate an environment that evokes surrealist 90’s cyber sci-fi. The combination of synth, chiptunes, and vocals collaborate to give the album that cheesy but still endearing aesthetic. They play around with a lot of different facets of it too, and I found myself pleasantly surprised by their artistic choices more than once"- The Family Reviews
