イングランド/ロンドン拠点のオルタナティヴR&Bトリオ kid apolloが、11/28にSweat Entertainmentからリリースしたニューシングル『these things / sylvie』より、'these things'のビジュアライザーを公開!
共同作曲・プロデュースに Ray Laurélが参加。
夏の印象的なEP『In Your Own Right』の評判も上々で、先月はPitchfork Music Festival Parisに出演を果たしたトリオ。
ベッドルームポップの要素とヒップホップ寄りのサウンドを融合させた音楽性と、20代前半の人として現在のロンドンで暮らす漠然とした不安と刺激的な出来事の狭間を感じさせる歌心が素晴らしいです。
“'these things' is trying to portray that feeling when you're in a period of your life where you feel like everything’s moving so fast and kind of passing you by. As a result of this, you find that you lose track of what’s important and end up not making enough time for these things. This song was actually one of the fastest songs we’ve made. It was the last idea of the day that we worked on, the first time we were in with Ray and it just kinda stuck for both of us. Us and Ray have a similar ear in terms of what clicks so it was really easy to land where we wanted creatively.”
