Middle Kids at Bristol’s Louisiana this Saturday Night the 17th Nov 2018
Posted on: 14 Nov 2018Middle Kids will be heading to Bristol’s Louisiana this Saturday Night the 17th November
Lush indie pop sounds from Australia - the trio released their gorgeous debut on Lucky Number label earlier this year (Dream Wife / Sunflower Bean) and a year touring the world this will be their first full UK tour in support of the record.
Middle Kids have just launched their new album "Found Friends" which brings the charm of Mix-tape culture into the modern age by creatively utilising Spotify’s technology to match fans, and their playlists, with each other wherever they may be.
“We made our album Lost Friends with the intention to help listeners further discover what is true and beautiful about the world and its people. To us, the phrase Lost Friends mourns lost connections but also reveres the very human desire for relationship. We are thankful for the bonds that music creates for us and want you to feel a little more connected by music, too."
On Lost Friends, Hannah Joy, Harry Day and Tim Fitz bring back their knack for haunting hooks, lyrical poignancy and irresistible indie rock appeal that critics praised in their self-titled first EP, released in February 2017. This radiant collection of new songs conjures melodic nostalgia for some of songwriting's very best, rich in heartfelt build and beautiful simplicity.
The new album, Lost Friends, is the kind of album that sucker-punches you in the gut, revealing its nuances only after repeated listens. The songs’ edges are jagged, the production clean, stray imperfections imbue warmth and a human touch. Middle Kids craft classic hooks and riffs that tangle up in your brain like licorice and choruses that linger long after the song has faded. And they’ve bonded over a greater sense of what their music should accomplish.
Lost Friends was released on May 4th through Lucky Number and is available to order now on limited lilac coloured gatefold vinyl, gatefold CD, and digital download.
The Aussie trio now look forward to an extensive UK and European Tour this November.
