kid apollo - these things
About...
Kid Apollo are a trio from London, expressing themselves through their unique soundscape. ‘these things’ is there latest release with other single ‘sylvie’ and sees the band discuss life passing by and losing track of time
Lyrics...
“‘these things’ is trying to portray that feeling when you’re in a period of your life where you feel like everything’s moving so fast and kind of passing you by. As a result of this, you find that you lose track of what’s important and end up not making enough time for these things. This song was one of the fastest songs we’ve made. It was the last idea of the day that we worked on, the first time we were in with Ray and it just kinda stuck for both of us. Us and Ray have a similar ear in terms of what clicks so it was easy to land where we wanted creatively.” – Kid Apollo
Production...
The track is set within an Alt/ Pop soundscape, utilising distortion, and overdrive to give the track edge but still easy on the ears. The track has an overall warmth to it within the mix with the vocals sitting clear at the front as the story is being told
Summary...
This is a lush end of the year for Kid Apollo and sets them up nicely for some releases in the new year and throughout 2024, with backing from Pitchfork and other highly regarded outlets the only way is up for the trio
