It’s been a long wait, but the KiD EVERyTHiNG album is complete, it is mastered, and it is available for all of you. Instead of putting any limitations on our music, we decided to upload the entire thing free to stream whenever you wanted to listen to it!

But we wanted to do something more. We didn’t just record ten songs written at various stages, with no real rhyme or reason, slap them together and call it an album. No, we created something where we considered the whole album one giant piece of music with different movements, different tempos, keys, instrumentation. I’d call it a concept album, but it’s not really a concept. We just figured an album should be one self-contained entity.

Can I convince you that we put everything into this album? From the moment we decided to sit down and record some music, to the developing of the ideas, to the writing stage, then setting up a recording studio in a basement, to mixing and mastering… the entire lifespan of the album was 11 months. That equates to countless hours. And the idea shifted with time. No thoughts or creative impulses were thrown out. Instead we developed an idea and saw it through to the end.

Can I convince you that we care about this album? Every step of the way was thoroughly discussed, thoroughly fleshed out, and the final result was the product of earnest effort and vision. There are no happy accidents. Everything from the designs of the CD booklet to the order of the songs to the color scheme of the final product was thought upon and discussed for days before a final decision was made. There is nothing on or in our album that we did not intentionally put there.

Can I convince you to support us? That’s the hard question. And like I said, we don’t want anyone who simply wants to listen to the album to put forward a dime. Our music is free to listen and that’s the way we like it. But we do ask that if you like what you hear, you consider going to our Kickstarter and support our cause. We want to bring our three part symphony of an album into the physical world to encourage our listeners to experience the album from beginning to end because that’s the way we envisioned it and that’s the way the record is the most potent.

We are trying to do something unique in an art form that has become anything but. We gave no thought to our image, to fitting into the musical landscape… instead we sought out to make the album we wanted to hear, making the assumption that there were more out there just like us who wanted to listen to something unique and captivating. I think we came damn close.
