Bio
“For me, making music is the most child-like thing ever,” says Jian Liew, better known as Kyson, synth-shaman of teleporting sounds. “You’re just free, running around a field naked, doing whatever you want. There are no borders to what you can do. It’s limitless.” The musican-producer has tinkered with effervescent, hip-hop soundscapes, which Pitchfork described as “exotic but familiar,” over two albums (The Water’s Way, A Book of Flying) and several collaborations (among them: Shigeto’s “Water Collides” and Bon Iver’s “Holocene”). This has culminated in his third album, the self-titled Kyson (out DATE on LABEL), a sonic memoir that jailbreaks Kyson’s repertoire through depth of narrative and tactile instrumentation. Where he ensconced his other releases in escapism, this one, by design, hits you in your soul.
Review
Chilled without being sleepy, warm without being too upfront. There's plenty to love about what Kyson's doing in 2019.
