Mount Kimbie – Cold Spring Fault Less Youth (Vinyl)
Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is London electronic duo Mount Kimbie’s first release for renowned British label Warp, after a string of EPs and an album on Hotflush Recordings, where they slotted in nicely amongst other dubstep and bass-related artists.
The jump to Warp is an indication of how Mount Kimbie have shifted the focus of their sound for their second full length; whereas on 2010’s Crooks and Lovers, and the EPs that came out around it, most of the duo’s songs seemed built from the beat outwards, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth finds them spending more time on cultivating more varied and colourful textures first and foremost.
Another major change from their earlier output is the increased use of vocals; the majority of tracks on this album feature some kind of lyricism. The ones provided by Mount Kimbie themselves are usually fairly low-key and slot nicely into tracks, providing some fairly catchy refrains on “Blood and Form” and “Made To Stray.” The most notable vocal contributions come from fellow Londoner King Krule, who drops a menacing turn about killing a man on “You Took Your Time”.
Much like Crooks and Lovers, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth’s tracks are all quite separate entities with each track displaying different sounds, colours, styles and textures, but they combine to make an odd but strangely appealing whole. (beatsperminute.com)

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
