I've mentioned it a fair few times already now, so its needless to say
Mount Kimbie's debut long player '
Crooks & Lovers' has been way up high on my list of musical 'wants' so far this year. Having listened a number of times over the past month or so, I must admit that this album has vastly surpassed my expectations of the duo's fine craft of such a stunning album, certainly a contender for my favourite album this year.
Dom Maker and
Kai Campos have explored so many untouched areas with this record, from the sublime and delightfully playful numbers like '
Mayor' and '
Before I Move Off' to the more gritty and technical tracks like '
Field' or '
Carbonated'. In promotion of such a great record '
Field', taken from '
Crooks & Lovers' has been made available for free download (
either below or check Juno Here for 192/320/WAV options) and the full album is also available to preview exclusively with
FACT Magazine right now.
'Crooks & Lovers' by Mount Kimbie is out on the 19th July via Hotflush Recordings and available to order from Juno and Boomkat now.
Labels: Hotflush, Mount Kimbie
