Mount Kimbie

Kai Campos and Dominic Maker are typically described as a duo that makes electronic music—a label that is simultaneously true and untrue. Even if the electronic music scene and its aesthetic trappings were Mount Kimbie’s point of departure, the act is unshackled by stylistic limitations and has been borrowing wholesale from the indie rock, prog rock, rap and jazz toolkits. That’s not to accuse them of being wishy-washy: their inimitable and original sound is guided by a clearly defined vision. In April the British duo dropped the fantastic LP The Sunset Violent; it’s going to be quite an adventure to hear these tracks performed live.
