New And Hot - Kids Without Instruments EP

The talent of young people these days amazes me! The duo known as Kids Without Instruments are both under 21 (19 and 20 to be exact) and they are already out there making music that is not only good but compelling, too. They've had a busy year so far -- and we are only one month in! Check out the their debut video "Nausea Nostalgia" below.



The video is definitely a departure from what people are used to seeing this way. The video is less action and more artsy, which is nice to see from time to time. The colors and slow movements fit the vibe of the already trippy feeling song quite well.

The duo, already on the same record label as chart topping artist Gotye, are billed as being a young Cristal Castles, but I honestly find myself relating them much more closely with Black Kids. They have two vocalists as well as very unconventional vocals. They also write very mellow electronic sounding music, which is a lot harder than it sounds.

Another really positive spin to come out of this group is that it feels like music is finally moving away from the superficial. I hope this duo falls in the footsteps of Adele and Beth Ditto (Lead singer of Gossip) pushing past the boundaries of body image in popular music.

The news of the video comes doubled (thanks to my extreme tardiness) with the release of their new self-titled EP. This release features "Nausea Nostalgia" as a track. The opening track "Stardust" and the closer "Don't Let Go" are definitely the standout tracks for the entire work. The kicker? This EP is free to download on Soundcloud! Check out the playlist of all six tracks below and let me know what you think!
