Following the release of debut album Crooks and Lovers, Mount Kimbie – made up of friends Dominic Maker and Kai Campos – have already announced their next EP. 

Including ‘Blind Night Errand’ and ‘Before I Move Off’ from the LP, the 12” is due for release on November 29th through Hot Flush Recordings (Scuba). 

The EP also includes an alternate version of ‘William’ remixed by Mount Kimbie themselves, alongside a live recording of ‘Maybes’ taken from a recent set at the infamous Berghain club in Berlin. ‘William’ and ‘Maybes’ both originally featured on the promising early ‘Maybes’ EP. 

Celebrate the release of their forthcoming EP, ‘Blind Night Errand’, Mount Kimbie are giving away an exclusive track, ‘Ruby (Live at Berghain, Berlin)’, absolutely free.

Mount Kimbie tend to be regarded as part of the ‘post-dubstep’ scene, although ‘Crooks & Lovers’ doesn’t always reflect this. Listening to ‘Blind Night Errand’, you can understand how they’ve evolved from the dubstep clubbing scene; the song is respondent with understated dubby pulses and ambient vocals. ‘Before I Move Off’ is more delicate however, with experimental percussion and haunting, compelling melodies.

Having previously released a series of EPs and remixed the likes of The XX and Foals, ‘Crooks and Lovers’ has defined Mount Kimbie as an original and exceptional act, an act whose music can’t be tethered to just one genre. Abundant in paradoxes, the album floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect.
