Album Introduction
Keep Your Distance is the debut studio album by Curiosity Killed The Cat — fronted by Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot (vocals), from London, England — released in 1987 on Mercury Records. The album reached UK No. 4. Down to Earth reached UK No. 3 (1987), Misfit reached UK No. 7 (1987) and Ordinary Day reached UK No. 11 (1987). The 9-track album demonstrates the band's smooth blend of pop, funk, soul and sophisticated electronic production, with Volpeliere-Pierrot's distinctive vocals, polished musicianship and a stylish approach to 1980s pop that made them one of the standout acts of the late 1980s British pop scene.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Down to Earth — One of the most immediately recognisable and commercially dominant recordings of Curiosity Killed The Cat's career; its combination of a warm, funk-pop production and Volpeliere-Pierrot's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal that became the band's signature recording. UK No. 3 (1987).
- Misfit — One of the most immediately energetic and commercially effective recordings on the album; its combination of a driving, pop-funk production and Volpeliere-Pierrot's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 7 (1987).
- Ordinary Day — One of the most melodically generous and atmospherically distinctive recordings on the album; its combination of a warm, layered production and Volpeliere-Pierrot's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 11 (1987).
- Curiosity Killed the Cat — The self-titled track and one of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and narratively ambitious recordings; its combination of a warm, layered production and Volpeliere-Pierrot's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained emotional weight.
- Red Lights — One of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and emotionally direct recordings; its combination of a warm, layered production and Volpeliere-Pierrot's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained emotional weight.
