on 'kairos', we find white hinterland exploring the edges of minimal pop, accomplishing a delicate but lively seduction through deep, patient bass throbs, prismatic synth textures, and direct, intimate songs sung with an empowered gravitas. here casey dienel tailors the acrobatics of her former songwriting into a slender focus, folding it into deeper grooves. beneath the baroque arrangements and intellectual lean of dienel's previous musical efforts was a sexiness that 'kairos' exposes, showing the artist for what she is: powerful and comfortable in her own skin, with a glittery voice weaned on pop r&b. with a sound so modern, so contemporary, 'kairos' fixes white hinterland's gaze firmly on the future. on dead oceans.

After listening to White Hinterland and their enveloping, elegant outsider-pop, you can’t help but think that there is a much more interesting female artist trading under a more typically ‘band’ name that people should be paying more attention to. »
