Kiss and Swallow is the debut album by IAMX.

Released in 2004, Kiss and Swallow is an extreme departure from Chris Corner's work with Sneaker Pimps. Almost completely electronic, the album incorporates driving synth-rock ("Kiss and Swallow", "Your Joy Is My Low"), lush, atmospheric, melody driven ballads ("Mercy", "I Like Pretending", "Simple Girl") and groove-based, erotic electro-funk ("Sailor", "Naked But Safe", "You Stick It In Me").

The album was recorded entirely in Chris Corner's private home studio in London between late 2003 and early 2004.

A demo version of this album also exists. This so-called "US Promo" was leaked to the internet shortly after the official release. Most tracks are similar to the finished product. However, some tracks, such as "Skin Vision", "Sailor" and "You Stick It In Me", are noticeably different and include different music, different melodies and in the case of "Skin Vision", completely different lyrics.

During live concerts, Chris Corner has introduced "Sailor" with the preface, "This is for all you bi-curious people out there".
