A Must Have! - This album captures the insights of a youthful cynic, a cynic tempered by the idealist within. Yeah, the musical references/inspirations for Simple Kid are ones that ol folks (like me) can relate to but what s better than a kid with a guitar and a lap top?! A substantial and very satisfying project! Watch the Simple Kid on KCRW s ",Morning Becomes Eclectic", and buy the CD.
Best original album i ve seen in a while - If you like bands such as radiohead and the vines, you ll love Simple Kid. Simple Kid combines a very original mix of electronics, acoustic/electric guitars, and a somewhat vintage feel to create these 11 awesome sounding tracks. Songs such as Truck On and Kids don t care offer a break from your typical made for MTV music. I DEFINATELY recommend them.
Simple Kid, Simple Music, Simply Great! - This album is a refreshing release in a world where music is dictated by business people not musicians. Every track differs from it s predecesor and the album as a whole is very eclectic. If your are looking for something different and new check out the Simple Kid.
New Kid on the block - With interest in the likes of Drake and Buckley being invigorated in recent years, there has been a surge in the number of troubadours in the music world. While most seem to happily follow the footsteps of Messrs Drake, Buckley (x2) and Dylan, Simple Kid embellishes his influences with his own experimental samples and insightful, unique lyrical style. Imagine Dylan and Badly Drawn Boy fighting with Casio keyboards and you start to get the idea. Standout tracks such as Staring At The Sun and Average Man are thrilling and joyous, and the rest of the songs are great fun. An assured debut that is not afraid to be different, and promises much more in the future.
