Release Notes:

Note: This does NOT have voiceovers!!

Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of
post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai
Campos - are set to release their highly anticipated debut album
æCrooks & LoversÆ on ScubaÆs Hotflush label in July. Mount KimbieÆs
first two EPs - æMaybesÆ and æSketch On GlassÆ - seemed like
explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were
instantly turned into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening
to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind
û albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of
other minds. Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion
when released last year with æSketch On GlassÆ recently undergoing
reworks from the likes of Faulty DL, SCB (ScubaÆs darker techno alias)
and their sometime collaborator James Blake. With their own remixes
(Foals and The xx) becoming hot property, Mount Kimbie have been a core
part of the growing scene in London often associated with labels like
Hyperdub and Hessle Audio. Dom and Kai met whilst at Southbank
University, pushed together in a student halls that was previously a
mental asylum - where the ceilings were still ridiculously high to stop
patients hanging themselves: ôa cold, joyless, concrete building û the
sort of building where youÆd drop a pen and the sound would just go on
and on in an echo.ö Armed with found sound snips and a siege mentality,
Kai and Dom set about turning LondonÆs ambience into rhythm, its chaos
into coherence. Traces of influence remain û the hard-earned spaces of
Burial and The Bug vie with the berserk melodrama of Xiu Xiu and
GrouperÆs sad-eyed glow, DÆAngeloÆs pervert soul gets cleansed in the
intimacy of Phil ElvrumÆs Microphones, Angelo BadalamentiÆs swollen
æTwin PeaksÆ atmospheres find a cradle in MadlibÆs lax lope. The bandÆs
sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own.
