Mount Kimbie

Overview

In the country for Laneway Festival, this London electronic duo are bringing their deep chillwave tunes to The Corner for a one-off Melbourne sideshow. Coming fresh to the scene with their ground-breaking 2009 EP Maybes, and debut full-length Crooks & Lovers in 2010, Mount Kimbie have been at the top of their field for a while now, but you'd be forgiven for not hearing about them till recently. Their most-recent release, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, has blown up in a big way.

After collaborating with King Krule on 'You Took Your Time', the band's second LP has been described as "cerebral and arresting" and much bolder than their last release. Their unique sound will make for an amazing live performance too, with the band playing live instruments and creating an act as dynamic and rich as similar acts such as James Blake and How to Dress Well. If you haven't caught them already, now's the time. This gig is going for a bargain at $30 so you best make the most of it — before they blow up even bigger after Laneway.
