KYNAN - GARBAGE BEACH.

KYNAN does a brilliant line in Chillwave style indie pop, this is such a Californian sound, so up and blissed out, so happy and warm. With track titles like "Happy When I'm High" and "Living Dreams" this is a sound that seems to be the bastard grandchild of Brian Wilson. As the UK winter wind bites and the sky grows dark at 3pm KYNAN blissfully drifts you off to a intensely beautiful and serene sound world deep beneath the surf where the golden sunlight  filters through the crisp blue waters dappling the white sand below.

Sweet bouncy blue sky pop.

KYNAN amazing Purple Rain cover.

I discovered KYNAN through the brilliant verb/re/verb blog's "Youth Mixtape" of which "The goal of this mixtape has been to illuminate the young talent, each artist being below 18, about to enter adulthood, but with far more innovation and introspection than most with more years to tally on. Each of the 9 artists chose a song to cover that they listened to as children, each with an incomparable interpretation of songs that very much so shaped their childhoods." (download here.)

Kynan covers Prince's Purple Rain and totally owns it, turning it into some kind of blissed out chillwave pop thing, slowed down and just gorgeous. So good, better than the original. Killer.

Only thing I know is this is someone from San Diego. Go download his "Try harder (January Mix)" from Bandcamp now. And get the Prince cover here.
