Kito

Kito is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Shy Girls, Lolo Zouaï, Kate Bush, DJ Shadow and Dr. Octagon. Those roots explain a lot about how Kito arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dillon Francis, Joy Orbison, Kill the Noise, Seven Lions and Krewella, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jorja Smith, Elley Duhé, Lily Allen, Banks and AlunaGeorge, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Kito, reaching back through Shy Girls and forward to Jorja Smith. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
