There is a polish and an assurance in a song such as Drops that makes a strong impact, giving the duo the firmest possible base from which to build.
Kin is not an assertive album, nor is it surprising, but it's as solid an aesthetic as you can expect of two artists mostly new to this genre.

A must-listen for all the synthpop enjoyers !!
