MOUNT KIMBIE - MADE TO STRAY

I want to get this blog back on the air, so here goes. Mount Kimbie's Crooks and Lovers is one of my favorite albums of the last few years. It's unusual, intelligent, minimal, vibrant and rhythmical without ever addressing its target: the listener. It tinkers, plods - much like an XX album, and all the while wraps you up in melancholy beats without you even knowing it.

'Made to Stray', from the new album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, is a marked departure. The beat is rigid, skitty, small, rather than 'big'. Nevertheless, it is marvellous, and again, unusual. 

Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is out on 28th May.
