What’s most impressive about Kodacrome’s latest album, Think of the Children, is its ability to feel weightless. Despite the dominance of synthesizers and drum machines, which often lend a heavy hand to electronic music, Kodacrome often seems to be floating by, almost effortlessly. Its in no small part due to the vocals of Elissa LeCoque which brush gently across the music beneath. LeCoque and musical partner Ryan Casey set the ambience with minimal arrangements and preferences for analog synthesizers. It’s not until the three songs in, on the titular track, that the backing beat even builds to a strong pulse. The duo’s airy production softens the edges and makes Kodacrome’s third album a worthwhile listen as a whole. Think of the Children is out now, stream it below. – Cameron Carr
