Thursday, Nov. 29: Children of Kids

Club Rendezvous

By Rev. Adam McKinney on November 21, 2012

Though they share qualities with other electronic neo-primitivists like Animal Collective, NewVillager and Yeasayer, Children of Kids tends toward the dreamier, gentler side of things. But even still, there's always an underpinning of intensity, with an insistent beat that threatens to scare away the trilling synths. Amongst these beat-driven aural journeys, Children of Kids occasionally flirts with blissed-out chillwave - music that desires nothing more than to take your mind for a walk, dip it in some caramel and roll it in rainbow sprinkles before returning it, sun-baked and sticky, to your head. Given that this show will be held in the basement of a University of Puget Sound building, and that one of the other bands (Bardobasho) is advertised as "ethereal vocal-driven electronic," I'd count on some serious head-bobbing to be had at this show.
