Discover Me – Kimo
I’ve recently spent a lot of time listening to Kimo, from all the way over in New Zealand. Their new record Surrender is characterized by a loose pop sensibility, songs that glide smoothly from understated hook to a light electronic swirl and back again. These are beautiful songs, totally unselfconscious, and delighted with their capacity to express simple joys.
I still have only heard about half of it, thanks to the difficulties in inter-continental commerce, but I’m very excited to get my hands on the full record.
I discovered them originally thanks to Music For the Moment, which seems to have turned me onto all kinds of great music in the last few months. Strongly recommended reading.
