It’s a new year, a new decade, and what better way to kick-start 2020 than with some undeniably infectious electro-pop to warm ourselves up with. This week’s Artist of The Week—Kendama—hail from not-so sunny Scotland and they’re about to shake your January up, so get ready.
The duo’s latest single “Closure” is a fully flourished blast of energy from the offset, filled with shimmering synth soundscapes, pulsating drum beats, and gorgeously infectious melodies—complete with a cheeky bit of autotune, Kendama prove they are no stranger to creating perfectly polished pop music.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that these lads were from the States though, as lead singer Stuart Edgar certainly has a bit of an American twang to his voice, which matches wonderfully with the flamboyant and fun nature of the single in our opinion. If AWOLNATION and Passion Pit had a baby, it might sound something like this corker, and if that doesn’t convince you, nothing will.
Having just embarked on a Scottish tour last November, here’s hoping they’ll hop over to the USA in the not-so distant future to share their undeniably catchy blend of sparkling alt-pop.
“Closure” is in stores now.
