Tracklisting

Information

Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos release their highly anticipated debut album 'Crooks & Lovers'!!!!

Mount Kimbie are one of the most hotly tipped producers of the last year. Their first two acclaimed EPs – ‘Maybes’ and ‘Sketch On Glass’ – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were instantly turned into voyeurs. Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion  when released last year with ‘Sketch On Glass’ recently undergoing reworks from the likes of Faulty DL, SCB (Scuba’s darker techno alias) and their sometime collaborator James Blake. 

'Crooks & Lovers' is a beautifully well constructed album, tightly wound and extremely intimate. Armed with found r'n'b vocal snippets, syncopated shuffling beats, hypnotic acoustic guitar twangs and jazz arrangements and woozy underwater atmospherics the duo create a unique organic sound.

The band’s sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own. Sceneless and untethered from etiquette and genre codes, ‘Crooks & Lovers’ floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno and ambient, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect.

Fans of Burial, The Bug etc will love this! Very, very highly recommended!!!
