Let Youth Take Over
The Kind Hills – Clusterluck
Embodying a vibrant swatch of serene indie pop, The Kind Hills debut the lead track from
their anticipated album, Clusterluck. The song, Let Youth Take Over, exudes a hypnotic,
subtly revolutionary energy that goes beyond its seemingly playful title. Born of the
intricate network of our global era, The Kind Hills personify the unbounded prowess of
music, unfettered by geographical constraints. This eclectic ensemble, born of friendships
formed in the scholastic realms of Australia, now flourishes artistically from various
corners of the world. Their pioneering, envelope-pushing approach to music creation has
resulted in a body of work that echoes profoundly on both individual and universal levels.
Set for release on July 28, Clusterluck is an embodiment of this harmonizing philosophy.
This ‘bedroom pop’ album radiates like a lighthouse of artistic endeavour, primarily
stemming from the creative efforts of Roman, who resides in the scenic environs of
Lucerne, Switzerland. Crafted amidst personal struggles, his compositions highlight the
beauty that can be forged from adversity, infusing each song with heartfelt authenticity and
soulful resonance. The essence of this stirring spirit is captured in Let Youth Take Over. As
the band says about what they hope to achieve, ‘All the songs on Clusterluck are relaxed
and humorous and I think life’s a lot easier and more fun if we’re not so damn serious all
the time. Other than that, the ambition is merely to have as many kind people listen to our
music.’ Adding to the richness of the sound are the diverse vocal contributions of Chase
(Hong Kong), Sam (LA, USA), Jessica (London, UK), and Brett (Perth, Australia). Bea
(Lucerne, Switzerland) complements this vocal tapestry with a melange of keys and
synths, lending an irresistible allure to the group’s unique sound. Known for his work with
world-renowned bands like Sigur Rós, Cameron Allen of the legendary Aussie band Pollen
lends his expertise to the album, mastering the tracks recorded and produced by Roman.
