Only Up from Here

When I first heard The Kin almost a year ago, I knew I was hearing something special. The song “Abraham” from their first album Rise and Fall literally had me in tears and “Together” just about blew me over with its powerful instrumentals and lyrics. Now with The UPside, brothers Thorry and Isaac have proven they are the real deal.

This album is a little reminiscent of Death Cab for Cutie’s Plans, only The Kin does it better. The musicality explodes onto the scene with “Waterbreaks,” a classic Kin sound that fans will recognize and love. And they once again brought me to tears with “Never Be the Same.” Yet the music doesn’t fall into complacency but pushes these musicians with funk-inspired songs like “One Thing” and “New York.”

The only disappointment for me came from “Waking Up Shining,” which falls a little short with it’s pop beat and psychedelic electronics, making it a bit of a let-down for the last song on the album. But I'll forgive them for that because the rest of the album is too good to give this anything but five stars.

The Kin have cornered the market on amazing harmonization and great song writing; however, they don’t hide behind their proven harmonies. They aren’t afraid to mix electronics with acoustics or sing solo to highlight those totally clear moments when their voices combine for perfection.

These Aussies turned New Yorkers are more than just pretty faces with a grassroots following—they are musicians with the consistency, creativity and beauty to prove they will only move up from here. I got shivers down my spine listening to this album, and now I can’t wait to see what this duo comes up with next.

perfection as always!

ive been listening to the songs from this cd for months now and the band in general for almost a year and i'm so glad they are finally getting reconized because they are seriously amazing. all of their cds are incredible and i must insist that you buy this one! if you ever get the chance to see them live...DO IT! their shows are awesome and one of the only bands ive seen who are perfect live and on cds. see them more than once because the preformance is never the same and never disapointing. and they are really nice and down to earth guys if you ever have the chance to meet them!

Amazing

Just download it. You'll be floored.
