Mount Kimbie discuss guitars experimentations, new members, and influences for Qobuz

When they launched Mount Kimbie in 2008, Dom Maker and Kai Campos probably never imagined how their band would sound 16 years later. Between ‘Crooks & Lovers’ (2010) and ‘The Sunset Violent’ (2024), a vast collection of sounds and sonic textures has had time to pass... Strongly rooted in dubstep in its early days, Mount Kimbie is now a quartet (Andrea Balency-Béarn and Marc Pell who began as live partners are now official members) with an insistent eye on new wave and shoegaze… For Qobuz, the two college buddies talk about the conception and birth of their new album, their fascination with experimentation, their relationship with rock and, for Dom, his work as a producer in L.A.
