Little Kid - A Million Easy Payments (2024) Hi-Res

On Little Kid’s new album, A Million Easy Payments, the urgency in Kenny Boothby’s voice matches the stakes of his lyrics, epic ballads & reveries that come at life from all angles & exposures, driving at & a little over the limits of self-reflection. The band’s lilting folk-rock arrangements carry Boothby’s stories, occasionally lifting them skyward with flurries of cello samples, pedal steel, flute, & electric piano. It’s a record of depression & frustration that doesn’t stew in piety or aestheticize pain, that also explodes with life. Fragile & abundant. It’s a record with blood in its veins.
