Bergen Indie
New Zealand-born experimental-pop artist and two-time Grammy Award winning tour de force Kimbra is gearing up to release her upcoming album, Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) on September 24th, 2024. The album delves into the increasingly-complex realm of our digital existence, exploring themes of identity invention, toxic celebrity worship, and the allure of online personas. Executive produced by Kimbra and Taylor Graves - with contributions from Dan Edinburg, Tommy Raps, Skrillex, and more - Idols and Vices is a celebration of her early influences in music and a love of collaboration, joining with genre-bending artists like BANKS, Dawn Richard and DRAM. The experimental pop performer’s 2011 debut, Vows, bowed at No. 14 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. That same year, she exploded into the public consciousness with “Somebody That I Used To Know,” a duet with Gotye that earned her two Grammy Awards as well as reaching No. 1 on global charts (across 18 countries) and selling more than 13 million copies. Her 2014 sophomore record, The Golden Echo, highlighted her eclectic style with a diverse set of collaborations from Thundercat, Bilal, and John Legend. Likewise, her third LP, 2018’s Primal Heart, saw her touring with the likes of Beck, Odesza and David Byrne. Her 2023 album A Reckoning, channelled heartbreak amidst a global pandemic into bold new sonic territory, marking a distinctive new era for Kimbra.
