about

kid with a vinyl is an independent blog devoted to sharing new music from around the world. it is updated every friday with new song reviews, a new album review, or an occasional long essay revisiting an album released over the last decade (we call these “kwav revisited”). we are admittedly a bit partial towards dream pop and post punk, but we absolutely love it all; since 2014, our posts have spanned countless genres and micro-genres like chillwave, psych rock, and glitch pop. we do not “grade” music with numerical ratings or stars – if we write about it, we hold it in high regard. 

why are we called kid with a vinyl?

here are a few album reviews that i am particularly proud of, and feel capture our particular focus – a kwav “sampler,” if you will:

• • • • • album review: cloud castle lake, malingerer
        • album review: andy shauf, the neon skyline
        • album review: ought, room inside the world
        • album review: baths, romaplasm (kwav revisited)
        • album review: grizzly bear, painted ruins
        • album review: petite league, joyrider
        • album review: girlpool, what chaos is imaginary

thank you so much for reading and following, and i hope you always leave here with something you like.

I do not own any pictures of album covers, the pictures of the
actual bands or band members, or the YouTube videos I post on this 
website. Whenever a photo has a direct photographer, I will always
link to their website or social media account. Otherwise, the photos 
come from record labels, the artist themselves, or the artist's social 
media, to which I will also always give credit.
