Rounding off with something different, Kidz strips it back to some gentle, floating guitar.



This ethereal, shadowy debut comprises slithering, minimalist electronica. It's at times menacing, with a remarkably mysterious quality that doesn't force itself upon you. Instead it withholds – with what occasionally feels like a judging poise. Shriller chimes perforate a distant flood of sound in Limb, while Crushin' features jittering, computerised tones. The eerie samples of a screaming baby and woman are morphed into the latter's simultaneously dreamy and mournful vocal line. Rounding off with something different, Kidz strips it back to some gentle, floating guitar.
