Kindness

Kindness is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Tiga and Cassius. Those roots explain a lot about how Kindness arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Holy Ghost!, Hercules and Love Affair, LA Priest, Cut Copy and Glass Candy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into William Onyeabor, Blood Orange and Grizzly Bear, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Kindness, reaching back through Tiga and forward to William Onyeabor. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
