Who – or what - is Mount Kimbie, really? 

 

“That’s a hard question,” muses Dom Maker. “The hardest. It’s…” 

 

“It’s hard to say,” chimes in Kai Campos. “It’s an unspoken thing.” 

 

Unspoken, or barely even there at all? The duo’s first two EPs – Maybes and Sketch On Glass, both out in 2009 through Hotflush – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were turned instantly into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind – albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of other minds.
