Kid Adrift
A personal manifesto from Iain Archer, the brains behind the Kid Adrift project, it’s passionate, intense, and is set to establish him as a rare talent in 2010.
The title track Oxytocin leads with guitars, brutal beats and waves of dense electronics, whilst synthesized strings and mechanical beats bring the song to a thrilling crescendo.
The rest of the EP hits with walls of electronica, heavy and propulsive, and illustrates the dance influences that infuse the band’s sound. With clear nods to Warp Records, it’s a testament to Kid Adrift that this is very much his own work - a new unique voice for music fans to discover.
Oxytocin, which has been added to the XFM evening playlist this week, has also been remixed by Hospital Records drum & bass duo Cyantific and is up for free download now below.
