[Listen] Everyone - "No Time To Waste"
I always find it quite interesting to hear about collaborations and I always try to imagine how certain artists meet and how it leads from say a quick hello to being in a studio together making some sweet, sweet music. For Adam Bainbridge aka Kindness and Tiger Sushi label boss, Joakim. They met when Adam was recording his debut in Paris a few years back. Fast forward to the present and can enjoy a first listen to their project, Everyone. "No Time To Waste" is also the debut release for the label Crowdspacer, a vinyl-only label set up by Joakim. No doubt the coming months will be filled with some more goodness from these two, but for now how about giving the track a spin and letting us no what you think of the collab.
A 12" is out on February 11th, would be great to see what you think to the track.
[Watch] Kindness - "That's Alright" (Official Video)
Adam Bainbridge returns with another video, "That's Alright" which features on his Kindness record, World, You Need a Change of Mind. The track itself has a heavy use of samples from the Trouble Funk song "Still Smokin'". When releasing the song Adam had to clear the sample etc so he knew they'd heard it so when making the video for the song he reached out to them to see if they'd be up for performing a new version on stage along with him. They obliged! Speaking of the performance he said:
Playing with Trouble will remain one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. Bands like these are few and far between. I hope we manage to capture something of the musicality and vibrancy of the go-go scene
See if he succeeded at the top.

Remember that awesome video from Kindness for "Cyan" from last year? If not go remind yourself over here. Today Adam has let loose the visuals for "House" which is released on June 18th, and you may remember from last months preview. The video is a rather simple affair and features Adam Bainbridge sat alongside a young child and an organ. Its pretty fun to watch the video develop and the relationship between the two develop. Check it out above.

[Listen] Kindness - 'World, You Need A Change Of Mind' (Full Album Stream)
Adam Bainbridge or as he's better known to us, Kindness, is feeling generous and has offered up his next studio offering World, You Need A Change Of Mind in its entirety a week prior to being released. It's kind of the done thing now, a try before you buy if you will, but when the offering is this good it's hard to just have one piece of the pie, you want to go back for more and more. So, lucky for us we have it for 5 whole days before it drops via Female Energy/Polydor next week.
[Watch] Kindness - "Cyan" (Official Video)
Check out this awesomely shot video by Ben Fries creates a more than eye catching visual for the Kindness track, "Cyan". Pay close attention though as it took me a few bars to realise what was going on. The images and signs that are passed in the vid all tie into the song and sit, literally, alongside the song perfectly. The song itself was produced by Phillipe Zdar of the french house duo Cassius, and it's a funky 4 minute ride with a mellow finish.
The single is out on October the 24th on Female Energy in the UK and Terrible Records in the US on October 25th.
