Within the confines of an old farmhouse in Switzerland, Andrin Berchtold and Gian Reto Camenisch create warm, embracing electro pop as From Kid. Blending graceful harmonies with inviting synthesizers and shimmering guitars, the duo have made a beautiful pop record that draws on “the contrast between an urban world and a rich nature”. The ideas for their songs often occur to them when they’re travelling, with the duo’s reactions to their surroundings, the natural world they explore and the people they meet clearly permeating their music. The songs often inhabit vastly different moods and are sung in two voices: at times, they’re slightly melancholic with a feathery understatement, at other times sparklingly electronic and playful.
