Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Quietly considered one of New York City's most promising independent acts, The Kin s sound is a dynamic exchange between Australian brothers Isaac and Thorry Koren. These multi-talented musicians not only write their own material, they also play multiple instruments, creating a rare and audibly stunning experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars No cookie cutter songs here, October 8, 2007

By	Martha (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews

In an industry that's become over powered with cookie cutter songs, perfectly manufactured for your dancing pleasure, THE KIN breaks away from the pack. They are old souls telling tales of the journey of life. Whether it be love or war they tell it all so well and capture the heart of each situation they sing of with what seems to be an effortless flow of beautiful harmonies and well crafted music. They do not force any beliefs/messages on the listener though, as each song can be let in in various ways by just about anyone.

I commend them on their amazing new album!

5.0 out of 5 stars It just doesn't get any better than this, December 13, 2007

By	Jules (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews

Rise & Fall is the album that, no matter what your taste in music, will never leave the never-fail-you rotation of favorite CDs that we all have. It is subtle, while being energetic and powerful. The songs are masterfully written and arranged and the delivery will leave you wishing that there were 50 songs on the CD. I discovered The Kin in October and don't think I have taken the disk out of the CD player in my car once. It's that good. The songs become better and better with each listen.

It would make the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates good music and likes to discover amazing new talent. They will thank you for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Brilliant, October 9, 2007

By	Emily M. "Eohwen" (Plymouth, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This is an amazing album from an amazing band. They have been compared to musical legends such as: U2, The Cure, and Jeff Buckley. The two brothers play a multitude of instruments, and their voices blend perfectly to create beautiful harmonies that reach your soul. Their meaningful lyrics combined with their voices really hit home on every song. They have a unique sound that is incredibly pleasing to the ear, no matter what type of music one normally listens to.

Do not miss out on this incredible band!
