New KiWi: The Scene Of Ordinary

The duo of KiWi have stood out over the last year thanks for songs that know when to hit the boosters and go full-on energetic — last year’s exhilarating “Hanabi,” along with the recently released, connect-the-dots-to-Diplo banger “M.A.Z.E.” The Scene Of Ordinary highlights there other side, their almost theatrical bend in creating zippy songs full of strings and a vague theme-park-in-a-haunted-house feel. Save for the instrumental “Droll Kitchen” — the most outright dance-floor-focused thing here — the rest of this small collection match thumping beats with intricate melodies and a flair for the short story.
