MOUNT KIMBIE - The Dumb Guitar Tour @ Huxleys // SOLD OUT

Visionary British outfit Mount Kimbie announce brand new single Dumb Guitar alongside news of a world tour next year.

Fronted by Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, joined by long term collaborators Andrea Balency-Béarn and Marc Pell, Mount Kimbie have spent the past fifteen years crafting a vast catalogue of the most seminal, enduring and influential music to emerge from London’s vibrant electronic scene. Since their 2010 debut Crooks & Lovers (which topped over 30 Best Albums of the Decade list including Pitchfork, Mixmag and Resident Advisor), the band have continued to evolve across their three LP’s from one of the leading names in British electronic music to also serve as vanguards of a new modern indie, most notably on their most recent full-length, 2017’s Love What Survives.

Their most successful album to date, the album spawned some of Mount Kimbie’s most versatile, forward thinking and ground-breaking work yet, including singles Blue Train Lines (feat. King Krule), Marilyn (feat. Micachu) & We Go Home Together (James Blake). The band toured extensively on the album, selling out venues around the world including The Roundhouse, Brooklyn Steel and more, influencing a raft of post punk bands across the English capital in their wake. Written in California’s Yucca Valley and loosely based around a couple’s futile attempt to save a doomed relationship, Dumb Guitar continues in this mode, beginning with woozy synths reminiscent of the band’s first records before breaking into the frenetic guitar fuzz of Love What Survives.
