The Hunter

Rich Coast is the first full length LP by indie/folk alternative band, Kids. The album was written while the band was camping and hiking the Appalachian Trail, Produced in Orlando, Florida at Emissary Studios, mixed at James Joseph Audio in Memphis, and mastered at Euphonic Masters in Nashville, Tennessee. Kids finds their signature voice in this record; by add more throwback vintage cinematic feel to their already existing pop style writing. The records' melodies were written while watching old spaghetti western films and Kung-Fu movies on silent, giving the album it's vintage cinematic pentatonic feel. Kids' highly anticipated debut album Rich Coast is to be released on January 27, 2015. More New singles, trailers, web page, merchandise, tour dates, and pre-releases coming soon; so stay tuned for news, buzz, and updates on social feeds.

Quarks

I’m swearing old doubt, with all the wrong words.
I’m worried and wired that this might hurt

Giving up is wrong when you’re in love
Giving up is wrong when you’re loved

I’m crossing old lists, from trees once kissed
Trying to find the old words I missed

Right between the moon and sun
Lost within the tale I’ve spun

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

I’m rolling old beds, and I know nothing more.
Release me from running back down the first floor

Giving in to old when you’re done
Giving in to feeling someone. 

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

And we're gone, gone, gone. (repeat)

Gone, Not Gone (demo)

Heartbeat

Having lived, worked, and created in the ever evolving Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn for over a decade, native Texan Travis Johnson has felt the direct impact of the growth and dissolution that comes with rapid gentrification.  His band Grooms practiced, and recorded at Brooklyn's Death By Audio for seven years (first as Muggabears, then as Grooms) before they were forced out of their spiritual and literal home in November 2014 when DBA shut its doors.  A little over a year before, with the band's income not providing enough money to support any of it's members, bass player and co-writer Emily Ambruso went on hiatus from the band, leaving Johnson as the only original member.  Despite these unfortunate blows, Johnson soldiered on, soon recruiting Jay Heiselmann on bass, and actor/comedian Steve Levine on drums.

Travis Johnson's relentless perseverance isn't a central theme, but it's worth keeping in mind when listening to the 11 songs that comprise the new Grooms album Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair, an album which marks a clear aesthetic and thematic departure from the group's previous efforts.  After months of experimenting with sound collages, samples, and electronic beats, the band recorded an obsessively detailed and melodically complex album, with a heavy focus on mood and texture.  Unlike their previous album Infinity Caller (which Speedy Ortiz's Sadie Dupuis called "...an exercise in explosion and restraint hallmarked by sweeping guitars, stuttery drums, and cryptic, airy vocals...") many of the songs on Comb... bring the band's rhythm section to the fore, and Johnson's trademark guitar stylings often take a backseat to his psychedelic sample-collages and ambient electronics.  Fortunately the new approach works, balancing pop structures with masterful experimental production that shifts in tone and color in harmony with Johnson's tales of acceptance, loneliness, and impotent violence. 

On Comb..., that violence is most evident on "Something Wild", a song about destroying the high-priced waterfront condos that contribute to the rising cost of living in neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, and then feeling conflicted about it.  Love is the subject matter on "Bed Version" (a song which Johnson describes as "a fantasy about seeing the joy in my girlfriend's face as she realizes she's not cosmically alone."), and the album becomes wistful on "Cross Off" (a remembrance and longing for the good old days when Ambruso was still an active member of the band), but even on these songs Levine's alternately Krautrock and Elvin Jones-inspired drums, and Heiselmann's propulsive bass help to maintain the album's intense atmosphere.  Album standouts like "Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair" and "Doctor M" deliver head-bobbing pop hooks as Johnson ponders his long-term struggle with addiction, while other songs, "Savage Seminar," "Will the Boys?," and "Grenadine Scene from Inside," explore the thoughts, and feelings of fictional characters in the films Magnolia, Lost Boys, and Steel Magnolias, respectively.

Whether singing from a fictional or personal perspective, Johnson's songs on Comb... are all loosely about letting go of bitterness and resentment.  Like the Brooklyn neighborhood where he lives and works, his internal real estate is constantly being reevaluated, razed, and rebuilt.  Fortunately his personal growth has yielded an album that attentive listeners will find relatable and consistently rewarding.

Cry For Me

"Empty Nesters" is the first single off Toro Y Moi's forthcoming album "What For?" out April 7th. iTunes pre-order:  http://smarturl.it/whatfor_itunes

Lyrics:
Understand the purpose of making
Everything around you better
There are no zeros after this one
There is no one to destroy your sweater

I’ll try to hum it to you if I can’t sing
My Baby wants me back before I even leave
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call Mom and Daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

Did you meet with your advisor?
Do you still draw in the margins?
Bubble letters reading “WHAT FOR?”
And “I wish I had a stand in...”

Let’s try to make another hit for the teens
I miss your bangs, can you cut them for me
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call Mom and Daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

Leaf Off / The Cave

Brand new single Waves. Recorded with Mickey Dale (Embrace) November 2014

lyrics:
I thought it would be nice to move away get out of here 
You take the time to think it through but I just cannot hear 

Flying higher than today 
Flying higher than the waves 

But now they all just seem to say 
I've got it wrong, you've got it right 
And then I'm trying to be brave 
But it just fades 

Each face seems to define the thought of you departing quick 
A reflection on glass but when I look it all but disappears 

Flying higher than today 
Flying higher than the waves 

But now they all just seem to say 
I've got it wrong, you've got it right 
And then you're trying to be brave 
But it just fades 

Just another drink to make it through the day, it all won't change 
Just another fight to end it how we started off 

And I know it seems to break your heart 
We've been here before and it is the start 
And I've tried it before and I'll try it again 
But it just keeps coming back to them 

But now they all just seem to say 
I've got it wrong, you've got it right 
And then we're trying to be brave 
But it just fades around again 

And you know it seems to say 
And you're trying to be brave

Have a drink, laugh out loud, make a plan, build a crowd
Light as air, with no cares, we will make you so proud

May not be where I want to be, where I want to be

I can feel it, I can feel it, getting better, getting better
It's all in the way you see it, just remember this forever
Rollin' on
Rollin' on

Pluck a thought from your bed, give it life raise your head
Blood and tears, talks in mirrors, gonna be a long career

May not be where I want to be but it's all within our reach 
May not be where I want to be, where I want to be

I can feel it, I can feel it, getting better, getting better
It's all in the way you see it, just remember this forever
Rollin' on
Rollin' on

Take a breath, no time for rest, we'll be just fine

I can feel it, I can feel it, getting better, getting better
It's all in the way you see it, just remember this forever
Rollin' on
Rollin' on

Rollin' On
