The Hot at Nights - Three Kids (2017) Hi-Res

I ith their January 2016 EP, Cool It, Raleigh's The Hot at Nights delivered a neat crop of five songs by North Carolina musicians. Cool It wasn't a batch of covers as much as thoughtful recasts of other artists' songs, warped into new instrumental creations under the guise of "progressive jazz." Just as The Hot at Nights bent others' songs to their will on Cool It, so, too, are they capable of bending themselves into thrilling new sonic shapes. Three Kids, the band's latest full-length, is an unexpected and intriguing follow-up.
