Kid Cupid

“…offering an urgency and authenticity that are bound to get them noticed." 

- The Line Of Best Fit

London-based collective Kid Cupid return with the release of their euphoric new EP Heartlands, due for release on 1st April 2022.

Sounding akin to the likes of The Japanese House or London Grammar, Heartlands is filled with seductive synths and whirring hooks from the offset. Laura Shaw’s soft, intimate vocal cascades over rolling drums and dreamy guitar chords effortlessly, creating a sound that is truly enchanting as a result. Lead single Out of The Sun sees Laura channel her inner Stevie Nicks, as intertwining melodies are met with noodling guitars and celestial vocals in order to create a something undeniably irresistible.

Since having some time to reflect, Kid Cupid return with an introspective deep dive into self sabotage, self worth and life as we know it. The songs speak to the stronger version of yourself and asks “where were you when I needed you then”, nodding to the fact that we are all dealing with existential dread that is manifesting in our day to day lives and relationships. 

Kid Cupid originally formed in 2017 as a four-piece and have since reformed as a collective with Laura (vocals) and James Hogan (production, percussion) at it’s core. They have previously received acclaim from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, PRS’ M Magazine, Lock Magazine and Substream Magazine to name a few. 

With Heartlands, Kid Cupid hope to captivate listeners further with their intricate blend of hazy indie-electronica.

Heartlands is out on 1st April 2022.
