Auckland electro-dance duo Kids of 88 has released their debut album Sugarpills. “Kids of 88 show Flight of the Conchords how to get it done, and done,” Brandon Diaz writes for American music site Green Shoelace. “Sporting a resume opening for acts like Passion Pit and Scissor Sisters, they’ve also put out hot remixes for the likes of Cobra Starship and Ke$ha’s famed ‘Tik-Tok’.
