  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    For all the cloak-and-daggers, iamiamwhoami can still be said to have truly innovated with Kin. Not an album then, but a multimedia journey whose destination for once is every bit as good as the trip

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    The textures are dark and frosted, and Lee's voice is shot through with a chill that brings to mind two very different ice maidens, namely Liz Fraser and Siouxsie Sioux

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    A deeply rewarding immersive experience. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    It will be interesting to see and hear how Lee and Björklund build on the fascination they set in motion here

  5. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    Kin is not an assertive album, nor is it surprising, but it's as solid an aesthetic as you can expect of two artists mostly new to this genre

  6. 7.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    A great success. Surprisingly for an album that was released in the way this was, it's much more about its sound than its songs, and as such feels hyper-modern

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Fans of electronic music take note: iamamiwhoami is a powerhouse, and they have the songs (and videos) to prove it

  8. 6.0 |   BBC

    While kin is solidly crafted throughout, there’s nothing to justify the lofty artistic conceits surrounding it

  9. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Their peppy, sensual synthpop has merit. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    The songs alone conjure a lavish world of their own. Print edition only
