Cold Spring Fault Less Youth

Seeing bands evolve from their former bedroom project sensibilities into full-fledged studio producers isn’t something new and is a stage that many artists go through- including Mount Kimbie. While the electronic duo may have still been confined to dance music with Crooks and Lovers, Mount Kimbie have now upgraded to a full fledged studio, incorporating new sounds and instruments with their anticipated followup album. While the album still lends itself to their earlier electronic sentiments, it is a good testament to their broadening appeal. Beginning with a minimalistic intro of white noise and MPC redolent beats, their single "Made To Stray," morphs into a dance tune as disconnected vocals coalesce with lush synths. And while the abrupt vocal stop can be unsatisfying, it only leaves the listener wanting more.
