Middle Kids - Faith Crisis Pt 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A departure from his first self-titled EP, Geniuses & Thieves is an artfully constructed record that is made up of sprawling electro-sonics and infectious hooks - an ambitious stride forward for one of Singapore's most exciting young artists. He draws from R&B influences that have him reaching impressive vocal heights with bluesy baritones and glossy falsettos. The new EP will be preceded by the official single, InchRun Tell DaddyInch - which follows the success of his street single of the same title, InchGeniuses & ThievesInch. Written by Joel Tan and produced by Yves Rothman and Josh Wei, InchRun Tell DaddyInch is a brilliant pop spectacle which ushers the listener into his brave new musical world. InchWaited one and a half years for this. I put a lot of expectation on this second record and spent months on each track in it.

New Songs For Old Problems comes hot on the heels of what was a massive 2018 for Middle Kids, including the May of their critically acclaimed album Lost Friends - an impressive debut which saw the band tour worldwide, earned them a slew of US late night TV appearances, and back home in Australia snagged an ARIA nomination, and the Triple J Album of the Year prize. The EP, recorded at Middle Kids' own studio in Sydney and produced by guitarist Tim Fitz, is about the colorful clash of pressures you experience when you are growing up, coming of age. An acknowledgement that life can be hard, but solace that we're all in this together. InchYou look around and realize everyone is fighting the same internal battle, everyone is just acting out their story and praying it won't end up a tragedy,Inch adds Fitz. Lead single InchReal Thing,Inch a soaring rock song mixed by the legendary Mike InchSpikeInch Stent (Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Muse) ruminates on the lifelong quest for meaning.

Lost Friends, Middle Kids' forthcoming debut on Domino, is the kind of album that suckerpunches you in the gut, revealing it's nuances only after repeated listens. It's 12 songs veer from brittle blasts of indie rock, to elegiac piano ballads, to pop anthems destined to ignite stadium singalongs. The songs' edges have been kept jagged, the production clean, the band keen to let stray imperfections imbue warmth and a human touch. Album Tracks 1. Bought It 2. Mistake 3. Edge of Town 4. Maryland 5. On My Knees 6. Don't Be Hiding 7. Hole 8. Please 9. Lost Friends 10. Never Start 11. Tell Me Something 12. So Long, Farewell, I'm Gone
