"Stiff Kittens" opens CexCells, the 2007 debut by Blaqk Audio, the electronic outfit of AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget, and it's the only single the album produced. Puget wrote the music, played the keyboards and produced it, Havok wrote the words, and David Bascombe mixed it. The title is a tip of the hat to Joy Division.
It's goth-tinged synth-pop built for dark dance floors, pulsing and icy, with Havok's croon gliding over Puget's glittering keys. The track went up on the band's MySpace page on June 13, 2007, two months before the album arrived. Marc Webb, who'd already made several AFI videos, shot a clip in his basement, but it was never finished and never released.
