The Little Kicks –
Shake Off Your Troubles
“Aberdeen’s Little Kicks are proof that there can be dignity in making modest, straightforward pop music with a consciously broad appeal. Their breezy third record Shake Off Your Troubles has a familiar sound that draws liberally from the last two decades of mainstream British indie and demonstrates a strong grasp of the form; choruses always arrive right on time and there are sing-along moments aplenty.” (The Skinny)
“The album really caught me off-guard in the best sense. It finds the perfect balance between traditional indie, interesting electronica, and more refined orchestral sounds. This is indie-pop at its most sophisticated… sure to win over those willing to give [Shake Off Your Troubles] the time and attention it deserves.” (Belwood Music)
“[Shake Of Your Troubles] as a whole is quite sparse and minimalistic, but this approach definitely works for The Little Kicks because it makes you pay more attention to each individual element of their sound – and as the construction of the album is very good, it makes for great listening. Don’t be surprised if this band becomes the ‘next big thing.’” (Soundscape Magazine)
