Mount Kimbie – Cold Spring Fault Less Youth

Mount Kimbie – Cold Spring Fault Less Youth (Warp)

This London duo met in 2008 and started making music together in a home studio. Their warm, crackling brand of ambient post-dubstep drew comparisons to James Blake and Boards of Canada and quickly earned them a high profile. After releasing three EPs and their debut full-length, 2010’s Crooks & Lovers, on Hotflush, for their sophomore album they move to Warp and from the bedroom into a professional studio. On Cold Spring Fault Less Youth their music also moves in a new direction, relying less on their signature production touches, adding new instruments to their repertoire, and incorporating vocals from King Krule and the duo themselves. The result is lovely and oftentimes propulsive enough to fill up a dancefloor on a cold spring night with more than a few faultless youths.
