Oct 6, 2017The Kid is truly an album to experience beginning to end, one with a knack for making you feel--as Smith sings on “An Intention”--“everything at the same time.”
-
Oct 4, 2017Emotionally tactile and blossoming with feeling, The Kid is a stunning record that demands attention, absorption and meditation, two LPs rich with wisdom.

Oct 5, 2017Still, the beating heart behind The Kid is the curiosity and delight that Smith brings to her meticulous electronic compositions.
