Mount Kimbie Maybes

Hello friends!

Today’s song comes from Mount Kimbie, who were featured in my ‘top 10 heard in 2010’ list (see post 2/1/11). This track isn’t on their debut album, but comes from the Maybes EP, released in January 2009, 18 months before Crooks & Lovers. The LP and Maybes are now both out-of-print on vinyl, which is a great shame because the richness of both of them sounds superb on record- but nevertheless, a lot of the crackling warmth still comes through on mp3.

Maybes had a slightly more ambient feel than 2010’s output. It wasn’t a low-key work, though. Listening to any of its four tracks, one can hear why Mount Kimbie have become a recognised force in UK dubstep. A precursor to the album, yes- but carrying no less gravitas.
