Kitchens Of Distinctions – The Death Of Cool

Reissue of the 1992 album, available on single 12″ heavyweight black vinyl and CD.

The Death of Cool is the third studio album from British alternative rock band Kitchens of Distinction. They recorded the LP with Hugh Jones again in the driving seat. The album was named in honour of the passing of Miles Davis. 

KOD’s US label opted for ‘Smiling’ as an introductory single for US audiences, having disagreed with the band’s decision to release ‘Breathing Fear’ initially – a song about ‘gay bashing’. The label felt that the subject matter was too touchy, yet this was the essence of Kitchens of Distinction. The band toured extensively that year, including a support slot with their US label-mate Suzanne Vega.
