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.

Why Didn't You Call?

In the explosive Never Learn, Garvie sets his sights on self-help and hustle culture in a production every bit as as hyperactive and restless as its subject matter.

‘Recently I found myself procrastinating by watching YouTube videos giving productivity advice. I thought that was funny enough to warrant a song” explains Garvie. Never Learn follows this theme, gleefully chewing up and spitting out the toxicity of the hustle culture that we can feel everywhere around us in 2022.

In an effort to mimic the inside of the mind of a hustle bro ‘influencer’, Garvie’s already OTT production style is pushed to extremes. Never Learn veers wildly between Garvie’s claustrophobic Jack Garratt-inspired synths, a mammoth chromatic riff reminiscent of Pendulum and even a lullaby-esque refrain, complete with angelic backing vocals. No one section out-stays its welcome. “It builds and builds, constantly pushing itself to find another gear. Ultimately that kind of effort can’t sustain” says Garvie of the production. 

After the song reaches a high-octane drum-and-bass inspired conclusion, it’s totally spent - no amount of pre-workout or Joe Rogan podcasts could revive it.
