Formed in 2014 in McAllen, TX by songwriter Andy Peña with bassist Devin Garcia, Quiet Kids have an innate knack for hallucinogenic indie pop. Their artfully crafted sound found resonance with other artists such as Angel Olsen, Mitski, and Miniature Tigers, who handed the newcomers support slots on their tours.
The Vinyl District is pleased to be premiering the band’s new, self-titled EP which is chock full of synth drenched, intelligently conceived indie rock. Their smart lyrics and tight-knit hooks make for an alluring listen that is both pleasurably broad in its strokes yet intensely personal.
Peña details, “People, places and things pull you in every direction, and it’s easy to please any and everyone. If we all just said what was on our minds we’d have much more of an understanding of who we are, and what we’re looking for… It’s only in the stability of my relationships that I realized I can write about whatever I feel. My art is me, and my family, and friends.”
“Quiet Kids” arrives in stores on March 29th.
