Grammy-Award winning singer Kimbra will release The Golden Echo, on August 15 and fans can hear the album in full and for free on iTunes from today.
Fans can also pre-order the album on iTunes with all pre-orders receiving three instant downloads of the album tracks Love In High Places, 90s Music, and Nothing But You.
The ultimate modern pop record, The Golden Echo is ambitious, sophisticated, and complex.
Produced by Rich Costey (Foster The People, Interpol, Muse), the album is a riot of genres: ’70s disco (Miracle), Prince-like funk (Madhouse), playful, sing-songy electro-pop (90s Music), eerie space-age hip-hop (Goldmine), plus an emotionally resonant piano ballad, As You Are, with a string arrangement by Van Dyke Parks.
Her lo-fi bedroom aesthetic is filled out by the playing of the musicians, who include drummer John JR Robinson, (Michael Jackson’s main studio drummer, who played on five of the tracks), as well as several special guests: Muse’s Matt Bellamy (90s Music), bassist Thundercat, rapper Flying Lotus, Dirty Projector’s Dave Longstreth, Mars Volta’s Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Carolina), R&B singer Bilal (Be Everlovin’ Ya), and mega-star John Legend (Nobody But You).
Kimbra will be celebrating the release of The Golden Echo, with an exclusive one-off DJ set at 1885 Britomart, in downtown Auckland City on Saturday August 16.
With support from SWTMXKDS, Jupiter Project, Midnight Gallery, Zeisha Fremaux, George FM's Aroha and a special DJ set from footwear sweetheart Kathryn Wilson, tickets are available now from www.iticket.co.nz
