Kid Indigo – 行きましょう

In a minimal electronic and somewhat dehumanized setting, the pleasuring vocals of Aubrey Ella Hart, better known as Kid Indigo, are on a mission to get you hooked on that sound of her release “Ikimashou”.

Most of you probably won’t get the title of the track shown right on your screens, and it took me quite some time to even copy them into the review, but title aside, this track of Hart feels both cold-metallic and lustful. I love the combination of the reverbed synth setting with those slightly distorted vocals, it creates a contrast between human feel and industrial-ish vibes. The wide-reverbed synth creates a huge room to float in while the sensual vocals get that special ingredient in the tune to provoke what I like to call ‘backroom flavor’. The music somehow feels like a lapdance for your ears, you are a hostage of the sound until it allows you to let go.

Kid Indigo is a creative dreamer. Most of her songs include a certain signature style with the loops and the vocals used, but she clearly loves to play around with what she creates. I bet when she starts a recording session, she has no idea what elements she is going to use in her next song. While some of the results come up very experimental in my opinion, this playful approach to music is something that’s almost lost, but it’s desperately needed in the musical landscape out there. To transmit your intention as a musician, it doesn’t always have to be an ultra-polished, high-end mixed song to be released. (Why do we have the internet if we don’t use it in a creative and constructive way, right.) The tracks of Kid Indigo all share one thing, that being the unusual approach, playfulness and excitement about music in general. This cannot be described with words very easily, so you probably should stop reading my rants and check out what the multitalent has in store for you on spotify, youtube or soundcloud.
