At first I was torn on this one. I definitely like it, but thought maybe it might simply be the strength of the original shining through. But now, after a couple listens, :Kinena: 's electro, disco-pop treatment is light, airy and still oh-so-catchy. Phoenix fans might find something to love within. Throw it on repeat. MP3 : :Kinema: - My Girls (Animal Collective Cover) Previous: MP3 [...]
It's no lie that we kinda went cuckoo for :Kinema: earlier this year . Their style of easygoing and smooth pop music is one that makes a Beast like us relax and pay attention. So at the very mention of a disco cover of a track that most kiddos claim to be among the best of the year, it was quite evident that after first listen, the next step would be to get this up and out to the masses as soon as possible. Tackling [...]
Hello all! God, writing a blog on a saturday night is sorry state of affairs. Anyways - I'm excited as the other day I discovered THREE new bands that need to get the blogging treatment... Keep your eyes peeled in days to come. The first of these three are a trio from Brighton called :Kinema: , who were were bought to my attention by one of my best buddies and Brighton guru, Mr Barker. When I first heard their tunes I was instantly struck by their likeness to Phoenix. But it must be said, they are much poppier [...]
Some of you might recognize Netherlands Baskerville , have had them on here before a couple of times, and this time they took a shot at remixing a alt-country inspired rock-band called The Sheer . They're dutch aswell. And I really liked the heavy synths and the drawn-out guitar slide (or whatever it is) in the song, it just gives the track a cool flow.They will release a 5 track EP on Bmkltsch Records this months, so keep your eyeballs on that one. The Sheer - Tell Me (Baskerville Remix) [...]

:Kinema: , yes with the pre/post colons, make super pop music. Influenced by the likes of everyone spanning Lindsey Buckingham, to Giorgio Moroder, to Ne-Yo, this trio of Brighton boys immediately caught my attention with their knack for creating quality music with a mass genre appeal. Thrown together across an epic European road trip during the summer of 2007, Dom Ashton, Andy Nelson and Ross Flight discovered their shared love for music, laptops and famous actresses. :Kinema: developed their sound over the the past year and a half, combining elements [...]
