Review:
The peerless Kitsune are back with yet another superbly curated collection of songs and artists that all straddle the line between indie and dance so perfectly. One man band Washed Out gets things off to an inspired start with the hauntingly beautiful "Belong", a truly memorable tune that has the vibe and swing of Carly Simon's classic "Why?", but with a deliberate lo-fi roughness and enough echoed vocals to make Panda Bear jealous. Brooklyn's Holy Ghost!, who have been keeping fans on tenterhooks since their first DFA single "Hold On" dropped, deliver "Say My Name" here on Kitsune 9 and we can assure you it was worth the wait. With exclusives such as an Arthur Baker mix of Manchester duo Hurts, as well as other essential new tunes from Monarchy, Logo and Crookers, Kitsune once again prove their cool with this compilation.
