Why do we like this?

As a small number of you may be aware, Toronto-based band Shy Kids first started releasing music back in 2012, however beyond an original three-track EP, they hadn't released anything new since.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, on Monday they uploaded their debut album Lofty! (which is a FREE download!) onto SoundCloud, and I have fallen in love with it.

An intelligent maze of loopy melodies and feel-good vocals, the album's shining light comes in the form of lead single "®ockets". A futuristic, mind-bending number, "®ockets" ebbs and flows like a sugar rush, feeding off the syrupy lyrics, rich guitars, and synths that bring this track to life.

Complementing the song's creative imagination perfectly, the music video for "®ockets" (which is made entirely out of sweets) can be viewed below.

By Jami Selikow on Dec 13, 2017 | MGMT return with the second single, "When You Die," off the new album. While the first release, "Little Dark Age," held down the fort with lyrics that detailed life on earth, "When You Die" propels one out beyond our galaxy.  The lyrics are bizarre ... read more →
