Mount Kimbie: The Sunset Violent
Briefly

Mount Kimbie's musical evolution spans various genres and collaborations, now venturing into a gritty, shoegazy post-rock sound with 'The Sunset Violent', aiming to be a fusion of familiar and obscure styles.
The Sunset Violent album sees Mount Kimbie exploring a mix of fuzzy guitars, Korgs, and melancholic vocals, akin to if Sonic Youth or Young Marble Giants were digital wizards creating richly detailed dream-like songs.
Maker and Campos' journey includes experimental electronic compositions, hazy R&B, and post-punk, culminating in the guitar-heavy and synth-laden style of 'Love What Survives', setting the stage for their revised sound.
Balency-Béarn's vocals add depth to tracks like 'Dumb Guitar' and 'Shipwreck' on 'The Sunset Violent', blending with lounge-pop elements to create a morose charm and bring much-needed friction to the album.
