Kaitlyn Aurel Smith The Kid

"[M]uch more than a heady listening exercise. It's overstuffed with music rich and replayable enough to justify the loftiness of its rough concept: a comprehensive meditation on the stages of human life."
"THE KID is a hugely satisfying example of Smith's wholesome and harmonious vision, one that manages to enmesh the wonders of music, memory and nature via analogue synthesis..."
Paste (magazine) - "[A] trip through Smith's new album, THE KID, is like being dropped into the middle of a bizarrely beautiful sound-world and enveloped by the warmth and wonder of one woman's relationship with a machine named Buchla. It is an immersive experience worthy of slow wandering."
