Listen to "Something to Say" by Little Kid 28 Nov 2023
“Sad and beautiful music that lingers like a dream, like a memory, like time passing in a blur, on and on and on.” – GoldFlakePaint
Little Kid, the Toronto-based collaborative indie rock & alt-country project comprised of Brodie Germain (drums, guitar), Paul Vroom (bass), Megan Lunn (vocals, banjo, keyboard), Liam Cole (drums, percussion), and Kenny Boothby (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), are back with a mesmerizing new single, “Something to Say.” Check out the premiere over at Flood Magazine.
"Something to Say" is our first preview of Little Kid's upcoming album, A Million Easy Payments, out February 23, 2024 on Orindal (US) & Gold Day (UK). Through Kenny Boothby’s warm, conversational lyrics, “Something to Say” explores paranoia, gossip & casual drug use over a loose, folksy arrangement lead by Megan Lunn’s banjo.
Kenny Boothby founded the Little Kid project in 2009, self-releasing soft-spoken, homespun solo recordings that slowly attracted a passionately devoted fanbase as the project evolved into a propulsive & dynamic live band & recording collective.
Kenny Boothby on “Something to Say”:
“When we got together to record, it came together quickly: the version on the album is our very first take. We added a few overdubs but the vocals and the primary instruments were from that first run-through. It felt fitting to start the album with the first song we played together during the recording process.”
From A Million Easy Payments' album bio, written by Dan Wriggins:
“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 and reveries that come at life from all angles and exposures, driving at and 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, and electric piano. It’s a record of depression and frustration that doesn’t stew in piety or aestheticize pain, that also explodes with life. Fragile and abundant. It’s a record with blood in its veins.”
