Today’s song is “Return to Me” by Kindo. This band is a jazzy piano funk that will tickle your ears if you are a fan of poppy groups like Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco.
Kindo (The Reign Of Kindo) has become one of the most unlikely phenomena to infiltrate the modern music world. Almost ten years since their debut EP hit #5 on the Billboard Middle Atlantic Heatseekers chart in 2007, this band has only just begun to emerge from their decade-long journey from rags to… better rags with resumes. In an industry where big money and privilege can buy you radio play, TV appearances, and audience, Kindo managed to rack up over 3 million views on youtube, over 2.5 Million Spotify plays, & Sell over 30,000 records across the globe, all without the help of any major label. It has become evident, theirs is the sort of sound that so many music lovers are eager to discover and enjoy.
The band has become prolific in recent days; writing and producing a brand new song every month since late 2016. These efforts are made possible by a continually impressive showing of support from their most devoted fans on Patreon. Patrons receive a brand new song each month, at least a year before it is compiled onto an album to be released in the marketplace. They are currently set to release their 4th full length, Happy However After in April of 2018. The new body of work is a continued exploration of neo-soul, post-rock, R&B as well as the next chapter in the story of their unique blend of sounds.
The band will be playing Rough Trade this Saturday so if you’re looking for some good tunes check them out. If you’re not in the NYC area see their other dates below.
