The Golden Echo features a much more electronic based sound, with the use of drum machines and an array of buzzy and glitchy synthesizers. But now it’s 2014, and Kimbra’s second LP release had snuck up on me to the point I realised it was out when I walked into my local JB Hi-Fi. Vows’ organic sound and soulful performances, particularly my favourite track Withdraw, I believe is what really has propelled Kimbra forward just like the hairs she raises on the back of my neck. Not of 2011 (because I was late to the party), but just in terms of being the most promising release so far to come out of Australia (or New Zealand if you must) in this new decade. Kimbra’s debut album Vows is certainly a favourite of mine. Review Summary: This could well be gold, but all I’m hearing is the dull aftermath of an echo.
