Dreamy organic vibes blending old-school synths, keys, and breathy vocal fragments – Robinson Kirby are a duo noting thousands of monthly listeners and counting, and their recent single End And The Start is a warming and colourful example of their natural, modest and moving approach.
Built around a unique fusion of subtle funk and ambient, lo-fi wonder, End And The Start is ultimately a soulful and uplifting listen, with imagery and brighter vocal melodies pouring through increasingly as the song gathers stunning momentum.
The chorus is fantastic, things suddenly speed up, and the verses were great to begin with anyway – Robinson Kirby are a duo perfectly harmonised in voice and musicianship, even concept, and they compliment one another effortlessly throughout songs like this. So it’s easy to listen to their repertoire, but when you get a well-written track like End And The Start, the bar is raised all the more distinctly, and this one quickly becomes a notably addictive earworm of an indie hit.
Unexpectedly evolving twice throughout its lifespan, End And The Start lights up the space with humility and charm, offering memorable riffs, a long-form chorus expression, a brilliantly unique placement of the title – at the end of an exciting then mildly dizzying lyrical and melodic downpour – and it captures affection for its softness and passion carefully intertwined.
