Mount Kimbie
Nov 14 / 7pm / £25+
This envelope-pushing duo were experimenting with post-dubstep beats and sounds before there was such a thing as post-dubstep. Their debut, 2010’s Crooks and Lovers, was critically adored and launched them onto the scene, with this year’s follow up Cold Spring Fault Less Youth (yes it is a bit pretentious) taking them to greater heights.
