Artistic weirdo? Underrated genius? Next big thing? Too cool for school? The New Zealand multi-instrumentalist is many things and everything at once, as it often appears. And he's involved in way too many different projects and musical adventures. For those of you who might have heard of him before but never took the time to fully dive into the craziness - this is a guideline from us to you!
Another year full of releases has passed and at the end of it it's time to recap the best of them like we always do when then the year is about to close its curtain. So, without further ado please find the fifty albums that impressed us the most during the past 12 months right here and feel happily invited to fall in love with them as well.
In recent years, it would have been easy for Kindness to push themselves to the fore. With as many talents in their pockets as Adam Bainbridge and a long list of musical activities, high profile collaborations and various spectra covered such as writing, producing, djing or having their own radio programme, the limelight was right there. However, Kindness chose to let their work speak for itself mostly from a position in the half-shade . And it did. Rather soft-spoken in general, but always determined, profound and open-minded.
