Dec 5, 2012The only caveat with the music of iamamiwhoami is that there is now a lot of R&B influenced electronic pop music around, increasingly from Scandinavia, and it seems to be the 'go to' sound of left of centre pop music in the middle of 2012. The good news for the duo, however, is that their particular take on it puts them right near the front of a crowded field.

-
UncutDec 5, 2012Mostly Kin is a deeply rewarding immersive experience. [Oct 2012, p.81]
