Arriving in a locked-down UK in 2020, Australia-born Kim Ven makes warm indie pop music, flavoured with folk and americana. Kim is an uplifting and empathic songwriter, writing about self-discovery and the impermanence of youth, influenced by Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges and Lana Del Rey. 

A modern take on 60s romantic pop, Why Didn’t You Call? tells the familiar experience of being left hanging by the person you like, but still waiting by the phone for their call. “I've realised that I deserve a love better than that, and I hope anyone who listens realises that too” says Kim.

Don't Ever Hide Your Face

I'll Be Your Star

Stay This Way was not a song intended for me, but after a session with Kevin Hutchens in LA, me in London, I knew that I couldn't let it go. 
A song recorded in the legendary Strongroom Studios, London where the likes of Anne-Marie, Olivia Rodrigo, the Spice Girls have written and recorded, Stay This Way came to life. 
I am thrilled to be embarking on a full UK tour after a sold-out show in London in May post the release of Where Do I Lay All The Love I Have Left dropped.

Lyrics:
You see, in my prefacing background
Prefacing back

And with the lick of a flame you entered my mind,
Like the flickering of Alfred Street
But now it’s red
(Now it’s red)
And we’re all equivalent to the gulls of the night,
The foam rolls- a child in a ball pit
And i’m here and you’re there
And we’re thrown down, deep under so i’ll roll with it
And if you were sat on that box,
Steadfast, the opposite of her waves
I’d be there
I’d
Ankles scuffed, fingertips kissed with cold
Kiss me cold, please unfold

Alfred Street

Silver Thread

Bang Goes The Gun is an uptempo alt-pop gem which takes inspiration from Motown and the Northern Soul scene, updating the sonic palette to include synths, orchestra hits, and, as always, the dual male/female vocals of Chris McIntosh and Jen Davies. It's  the third and final single before the band’s debut album is released in May 2024 via the band's own Vinyl only record label, Defend Vinyl Records. Following on from Do The Right Thing (the previous BBC Radio 1 supported single)

Dyma'r pethau rydym yn eu caru: pandas, hufen ia peanut butter, finyl o bob math, cymunedau agored, cefnogory, cynhwysol, gin (rhata'i gyd gorau gyd!), popeth Cymreig, ein hartistiaid ysbrydoledig neu unrhyw un sy'n barod i wneud y byd yn fwy prydferth yn gerddorol. Pedalau corws ... fel petai'n 1985!  Mae gennym ffydd ddiysgog ym mhŵer y gân bop tair munud sy'n gallu newid bywydau!

Wedi gwario dros ddau ddegawd yn archwilio cerddoriaeth o bob math, Fuzz Pop, Bedsit indie, Canu Gwlad, Synth Pop, Gwerin Seicodelig, Ol Pync (ie rwyn dipyn o bioden gerddorol!!) a ffurfio ysbryd cerddorol annibynnol, unigolyddol a rhyddfrydol. Fe ddes i sylweddoli nad y llwyfan oedd f'amgylchedd naturiol ond yn hytrach cynorthwyo artistiaid ifanc, a'u codi i amlygrwydd gan eu galluogi i gyflawni eu breuddwydion cerddorol unigol. Daeth y foment 'Eureka' pan glywais yr artistiaid (i gyd o fewn ychydig wythnosau a'm syfrdanodd) sydd nawr yn galw Libertino yn gartref creadigol iddynt eu hunain .Roedd yn RHAID i'r artistiad yma gael eu clywed gan weddill y byd as roedd yn RHAID i mi weithio gyda nhw. Roedd yn un o'r munudau prin hynny mewn bywyd lle mae'r artistiad, eu cerddoriaeth a'u hestheteg yn cyd-blethu i ffurfio cyfanwaith perffaith i'r gwrandawr. Dyma'r munudau prin hynny dwi'n dymuno'u potelu i bawb sy'n gwrando ar artistiaid Libertino; mae pob cân a ryddheir yn arbennig ac yn ddeiamwnt prin yn y tywyllwch.
Credaf yn gryf y dylsai celfyddyd fod yn gynhwysol gan greu cymuned o'r pridd dan ein traed. Bwriad Libertino yw cynnig llwyfan iddynt er mwyn i'r artistiais hefan yn llwyddiannus, Dewch, ymunwch â ni ar y siwrnai cerddorol hon i'r gorwel agored. Gruff Owen - Libertino

We love in no particular order: Pandas, peanut butter ice cream, all things vinyl, supportive open embrasive communities, gin (cheaper the better!), popeth Cymreig, our very inspiring Artists or anyone who puts themselves out there to make this world a more sonically beautiful  place, Chorus pedals, you know...like it's 1985! They are back in right?! And an unwavering faith in the life changing power of the 3-minute pop song! 
 
'After spending over two decades exploring music from diverse extremes; Fuzz Pop, Bedsit Indie, Country, Synth Pop, Psych Folk, Post Punk (yes bit of a musical magpie here!!!) and honing an individual, independent free musical spirit, I realised that my natural environment was not the stage but rather helping young artists, lifting them up to the limelight, enabling them to achieve their individual musical visions. The "Eureka" moment was hearing the artists (all in the space of a few gloriously head-spinning weeks) who now call Libertino their creative home. These artists NEEDED to be heard by the rest of the world and I NEEDED to work with them. It was one of those rare moments you have in life where the artists, their music and their aesthetic all coalesced into one perfect form for the listener. It's these rare moments that I wish to capture and bottle for everyone listening to a Libertino artist, every release is special, a rare diamond in the dark. 
I strongly believe that art should be inclusive and not exclusive creating a community from grass roots level. Libertino's aim is to give artists a platform from which to fly and how to fly successfully. Come join us on this musical journey to the open horizon. Gruff Owen - Libertino'
