Spending their nights with beaming smiles, staring straight up at starry skies, AKIINE aren’t shy in evoking loved-up, swooning evenings with the ones that matter most. Romance pours in from every angle. Intimacy at its very extreme, they do everything but grab your hand and tell you everything is going to be ok.

‘Raised in the Blueberry Mountains’, the sugar-rush glow of ‘Sunglassey’ details floating ‘with kindness’. Whatever that means, it has to be a beautiful experience. Mixing a Purity Ring-channelling ability to use previously unknown phrases to make their point, this invention is shared with the kind of sweet, hairs-standing-on-end glow that hasn’t been expressed so clearly since The xx’s ‘VCR’.

AKIINE support Blaue Blume at a Neu Presents show at London Birthdays, tonight.
