about
The lead single off the forthcoming second EP this year by This Kid Here, "Listen Now" is something completely different from the messy improvisations and randomness of previous works by this artist. Starting off with the same haphazard attitude, "Listen Now" goes into a part for strings, only to come back with a minimalistic turn, somewhat reminiscent of music by Steve Reich. But it never dives into minimalism as there are always plenty of strange sounds to be concerned about. This is perhaps the stand out track on the soon to be released record and it shows a different side of the producer, though hinted already in the closing track for "Courses", "Rawffull", here the post rock-channeling ambience is right in the center of events.
B-Side, "Love Letter", is an even more gloomy and cold song. Minimal noises form a dark and gloomy soundscape.
