SF Artist of the Month: Mr. Kind EP Release @ Hotel Utah
We met Mr. Kind a month ago getting ready to self-release its EP OK. The month has past and now OK is here. The extended player is five tracks of Americana and blues-tinged rock worthy of 20 minutes of your time (well, 19 minutes to be exact). The EP has two parts: The first, with tracks “You’re Okay” and “Take Care,” is straightforward, radio-ready pop. The remaining cuts, “The Artist,” “Homeostasis” and “The Restless Release,” ring with less conventional patches of twangy guitar touches.
But you don’t need me to tell you how infectious Mr. Kind’s music is because the Oakland foursome won this month’s Bay Area artist of the month poll as voted by you! Since you like Mr. Kind so much, why not put your money where your mouth is by catching their EP release show at Hotel Utah Saloon this Friday, July 27 or picking up OK over at Bandcamp?
