Kid Fiction drops new EP

Vocalist and producer Kid Fiction has been making waves in the underground scene of Sydney with his own style of dizzying electronica wrapped up in pop sensibilities. Fluidly shifting between a wide range of musical influences from soulful dub and R&B to the rhythmic style of footwork and the electronic sounds of future and IDM to create something entirely his own.

His writing covers themes from international events, crisis and a world going through a constant evolution; rooted in surrealism yet with nods to reality, maintaining a grounded connection to his real and lived experiences.

Offering a sound full of rich melody-focused writing paired with a dynamic and mesmerising instrumental tapestry, his music keeps a common thread while always remaining surprising and unpredictable. Washy electronic sounds float above intriguing rhythmic beats to build his colourful melancholic brand of ethereal pop.

Since his introduction with 2018’s debut self-titled release he’s won over fans across the world. His rapid ascent has seen him play major festivals in Australia as well as playing live shows across Europe such as Berlin’s Club Gretchen and the Ministry Of Sound in London.

Now he returns with his third EP to date, titled At The End Of The Flat Earth. The new release sees Kid Fiction continue his sonic exploration of his sense of self and the turbulent world around him. Presented through his kaleidoscopic musical lens, on At The End Of The Flat Earth, Kid Fiction drops a hypnotic and innovative sound across five tracks that drip in originality.

Commenting on the release, he offers, “We live in an age of paranoia and anxiety. Everything is dangerous, everything is fluid, nothing makes sense. We all carry that weight on our shoulders, even in subtle ways. But as heavy as that burden is, it’s also a tremendous opportunity. The EP is a reflection on the crazy times that we live in, the potential for ruin and the potential for rebirth. It is my personal notes on the journey through it all, written in the pressure cooker of lockdown.”

Adding, “Even before the lockdown ours was a society where you could feel completely alone on a packed train full of people. Music is connection, we need that now more than ever! My only hope is that the energy and words in the music are something that people can relate to. And in doing so, can find themselves as part of a bigger whole.”
