KID DAD
Let’s not beat around the bush: these last 15 months have been challenging in many ways.
For KID DAD it simply was frustrating: in the summer of 2020 shortly after the pandemic hit they released “In A Box”, their by fans and press critically acclaimed debut-album, which they worked on for years. But of course the band from Paderborn could hardly play any shows during this time. Essentially artists feed from standing and performing on stage after the months of long hauls writing and recording in the studio. This recharge had to wait, but KID DAD ceased the opportunity to fill this void by immediately writing new songs! What luck!
The Songs on their upcoming EP “Bloom” (Release 10th December 2021) pretty much sound as if multiple pennies have dropped for Marius Vieth, Joshua Meinert, Max Zdunek and Michael Reihle: “Bloom is our epochal change – from surrealism to pop-art”, says the band.
You can clearly hear what they mean with it's opener 'Apartment'. “Bloom” is a hybrid of Pop, Beats, Vocal-Experimenting and still includes the bands well-known drama and coping with emotions. Whilst the band typically expressed themselves with brute force, they now find force in calmness.
'Apartment' tells a bitter sweet romantic story: “In the summer of 2019 I lived on the same street as my girlfriend. Every time I left the house I could see her yellow curtains through her window. This was a constant for me. At the end of the summer she moved to the other end of the world and her new tenant changed them to ugly blue ones. Every day these curtains reminded me of her being gone. It was extremely stirring for me”, says vocalist Marius.
The song in which this experience finds its space is the most warm and poppy, maybe even the most catchy song the band has ever written. KID DAD has learned that discomforting experiences don't have to be expressed with loud guitars or by screaming and that emotions can be expressed differently, more calm and nuanced.
“Bloom” is the first step towards less veil and being overly intellectual”, says the band. On “In A Box” they evolved from Grunge to wanting everything and with “Bloom” to being able to achieve anything. Rarely has an evolution of a band been so exciting to follow.
“Because the song tells a story of how small things, like a colour, can affect our mood, emotions and also be the reason we get along or not, we wanted to dedicate this video to the colour that belongs to this feeling, this bittersweet lightness that describes this best. It was also important for us to show that we love each other immensely. The four of us owe so much to each other, so we wanted to make the video as close, real and genuine as possible. Basically, the plan was: a yellow wall and we simply do what the song inspires us to.
É voilà: you have never seen or heard KID DAD so colourful.” , says the band regarding the video.
