KTD!'s ingredients for this leathal sonic cocktail are sixties‘ garage rock with thick layers of hammonds, analog synths and wild guitar bites. Their sources of inspiration run deep, from The Cramps-esque psychotic rock’n’roll, Lee Hazlewood’s loli-poppy country ballads, The Velvet Underground’s unbrushed rawness, to Phil Spector’s noisy wall of sound. Maybe this is why KTD! are so sweet and dangerous at the same time.
Their long awaited fits album I Saw White Fields was released in 2010 on the band’s own label Drug Me Records, worldwide distributed by Pale Music Int. Producing album were the „Dandies“ themselves together with the legendary „flying“ Dutch man Bert Neven, amongst many others known for working with the Killing Jokes. European release was supported by the tour to Germany, France and Switzerland.
After the band came back, they started to record a new album. For their second album Those Who Hold The Flame the band teamed up with Bert Neven again and, again, produced this album on their own label. The album contains eight original songs and a superb cover version of The King of Kalifornia which was originally played by Rowland S. Howard. This album has risen many excited reactions in the Czech Republic and is impatiently awaited abroad. It´s gonna be released and distributed by Pale Music Int. and it is going to be published via Blass Music/Freibank.

Such a names, like Alexander Hacke from Einstürzende Neubauten or Crime and The City Solution or Berlin producer Steve Morell, have participated on the remixes.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill me
If you find me bleeding
Kill me
If you find me gloomy, slimy gloomy shaking
Kill me
Do it gently with all your love, all your manners, with all your love
All your beauty, with all your love, all your manners
And your spark
If you find me frightened
Kill me
Staring into my stomach
Kill me
If you find the creature
... eating all my treasure
Kill me
If you find me gloomy, slimy gloomy shaking
Kill me,kill me,kill me
Rf:
Do it gently with all your love, all your manners, with all your love
All your beauty, with all your love, all your manners
And your spark

The song begins with the lines "If you find me crying / Kill me / If you find me bleeding / Kill me," which indicate that the singer would rather be dead than experience pain or sadness. The repeated refrain of "Do it gently with all your love, all your manners, with all your love / All your beauty, with all your love, all your manners / And your spark" suggests that the singer is not asking for a violent or brutal death, but rather a gentle one infused with love and beauty.
The later verses describe other scenarios in which the singer would rather be killed, such as if they are frightened or if a creature is eating their treasure. The phrase "slimy gloomy shaking" is repeated throughout the song, adding to the sense of unease and discomfort.
