The familiar synth arpeggios, the slick artwork and the 80s underlying vein have dominated music. KVASIR is the latest mysterious artist to enter the electro playing field. His own artistic vision…
VILDE: ‘Strictly Speaking’
When Kins first entered my life, it was an immediate love affair. As a blogger, the amount of music you listen to results in the merging of artists and memories bleed into one. There are the odd gems like sunlight on sand that stand out. Kins were a band that stood tall and now former member Thomas…
