After 8 years, he returns to Warp withKinds an expansive, intuitive work written following the birth of his daughter, exploring the restorative power of sound and colour.

Kindsmarks another departure for Kwes that sees him search again for the outer reaches of musics solar system. Made after a reset following a period of burnout, the record blends ambient and classical composition while rubbing up against the rougher textures of shoegaze. Short and tightly constructed,Kinds embraces minimalism. As the world outside becomes noisier, this is a project that creates calm and solace while planting a flag in yet another new frontier of popular music.
