High-gloss production, shameless retro references and big-thumbed slap bass.

The Fly
Saxophone solos! Samples that may or may not be from the Sugarhill Gang! The EastEnders theme tune sung in the style of Boyz II Men! Feeling sexy yet? Yeah you are

For all its capricious cherry-picking of the historic benchmarks of sensuality and synthetics, there's still a sense of genuine invention that permeates the whole album

It's like an Eighties mixtape played through an underwater radio: slo-mo, serpentine, and strangely moving

Under The Radar
A 10-track, high-gloss affair that hangs on a blend of R&B and disco, stirred into a chillwave-style sheen

The 405
If you simply just can’t get enough of sunkissed, wishy-washy, tie-dyed sun-in-your-eyes chillwave, it’s hard to go wrong with Kindness. After all, Bainbridge is clearly a great producer and what he does with these sounds he does well - it’s just all been done before
