Cosmic quintet Kinkajous release their debut album, Hidden Lines, a sonic foray into the world’s invisible echoes, reflecting through memory and experience. A compelling mix of tonalities and influences, drawn from their London home, Kinkajous have condensed their diverse experiences from across the artistic spectrum – orchestral to jazz, world and electronic – into a transcendental exploration of sound and time.
Ethereal and ephemeral, powerfully emotive tracks like Dotah and On Hiatus erase the experience of time through hypnotic, subdued sax and fleeting blasts of keys. Frantic, triumphant energy radiates from Black Idiom Pt.2 and Loke, with the swelling subtleties of Bear of Paradise detailing Kinkajous’ absorbing and complex soundscapes.
