Kinkajous

Renowned for their powerful and cinematic performances, London instrumental/experimental outfit Kinkajous have been refining their unmistakable sound over the years. Led by drummer/producer Benoît Parmentier and saxophonist Adrien Cau, they have built a reputation for creating evocative sonic landscapes. With sell-out headline shows at iconic venues like London’s Jazz Café and King’s Place, Kinkajous’ music has steadily gained momentum. Backed by Jack Doherty on synths/keys and Andres Castellanos on bass, their performances have enraptured audiences across the UK and Europe. Collaborations with the London Contemporary Orchestra at the renowned EartH Theatre underscore Kinkajous' commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Their sound is poignant, rich, and fragile all at once, blending electronic orchestrations with instrumental elements. Their latest release, Nothing Will Disappear (October 2024, Running Circle), is maximalism at its most subtle and tender – ambient music at its most rejuvenated. Praised by Crack Magazine and championed by BBC Radio 1’s Benji B and KEXP, Nothing Will Disappear is a whirling dreamland of electronic orchestrations and instrumental sensibility. Described by Under the Radar as “an evocative journey through soundscapes as fragile as they are bold,” the album captures Kinkajous at their most daring and visionary. With Nothing Will Disappear, Kinkajous continue to redefine their musical boundaries, presenting a sound crafted for the big stage.
