    A dreamy electronic masterpiece, filled with a video experience rarely seen by any artist. Jonna Lee and her crew bring the weird into fantastic proportion.

    Are you asking me if this was good? If you plan to ask such an obvious question, then don't. I don't need it in my life, because I have iamamiwhoami. Simplicity itself.

    Mostly an electronic album, Kin shows how spectacular music can be. This album is pretty flexible and so rhythmic. Favorite songs: Drops and Good Worker. Very good

    This album is perfect! A F**KING MASTERPIECE
    Of all her projects this one is by far my favorite
    Sever, Idle Talk and Kill are the best tracks for me, but a love the entire album

    Undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) electronic/alternative projects that came to light in 2012, it's full of curiosity both the music and visuals of the album.

    Just as good, if not sonically better than Bounty, kin is a masterpiece - as is every album iamamiwhoami puts out. It's simple, it's catchy, it's dark... it's near perfection. The videos that accompany this aren't nearly as good as the Bounty videos, but I'm not reviewing that... this is on the audio alone. It's fantastic.
    Standout tracks: good worker, play, idle talk, kill

    Mostly Kin is a deeply rewarding immersive experience. [Oct 2012, p.81]

    While kin is solidly crafted throughout, there's nothing to justify the lofty artistic conceits surrounding it.

    Their peppy, sensual synth-pop has merit. [Oct 2012, p.95]
