Mount Kimbie – Crooks & Lovers
We have had a promo copy of the new Mount Kimbie album for some time but had been asked to keep it under wraps until nearer the launch. With that day fast approaching, our good friends at FACT have secured a stream of the whole album to get you in the mood for purchase come the 19th of July. This is for one week only so be quick!
The album is a joy to listen to and will surely be remembered as an underground classic in years to come. After the initial success of their early EP’s the journey into post dubstep electronica contunues to deepen. Melding and molding bleeps, beats and samples has created a visceral sound scape with a real sense of purpose and emotion. The album seems to get better and better with each listen. Highlights include “Before I Move Off”, “Mayor” and “Field” with all tunes on offer providing subtle mood changes and highlights.
You can also listen to and get a free copy of the tune “Field” from the album courtesy of XLR8R. This album is well worth your pennies and is out at all the usual outlets on Hotflush.
