New Music: Swiss electronic pop duo From Kid release ‘Underground’ as a free download

Swiss electro-pop duo From Kid unveil their highly anticipated debut album on 30th January 2015. The 12 track release is appropriately named ‘You Can Have All The Wonders’ and will be released via Sonic Service and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment.

Within the confines of an old farmhouse in Switzerland, Andrin Berchtold and Gian Reto Camenisch create warm, embracing electro pop as From Kid. Blending graceful harmonies with inviting synthesizers and shimmering guitars, the duo have made a beautiful pop record that draws on “the contrast between an urban world and a rich nature”. The ideas for their songs often occur to them when they’re travelling, with the duo’s reactions to their surroundings, the natural world they explore and the people they meet clearly permeating their music. The songs often inhabit vastly different moods and are sung in two voices: at times, they’re slightly melancholic with a feathery understatement, at other times sparklingly electronic and playful.

Since their previously released track ‘Colors’ charted on the Hype Machine, support and adoration for this band has only grown, opening doors that have led to them supporting John Newman at Club XTRA in Zurich, as well as playing shows at the Open Air St. Gallen, the Sound of the Forest Festival in Germany and the Les Trois Baudets in Paris. Their live credentials are displayed in the accompanying video for ‘Colors’, which sees their vibrant, warm music fill the empty, cold space they inhabit.
