All your promises They feel meaningless All that stress I need to go I need to go I need to go Far away from you Where I start anew Where my mind can heal From how you made me feel Not knowing what is real No more I have brekkie with Becky And maybe I can be healed I’m growing into something Something new that I like more We had good times too And not just a few Love and laughter Night and day Just me and you All your promises They feel meaningless All that stress I need to go I need to go I need to go Far away from you Where I start anew Where my mind can heal From how you made me feel Not knowing what is real No more

I Love Perth 01:09
Everyone is carrying on in this house Afraid to move back there, I can't even watch The things you do and the people you know A groovy scene in Australia, I will move Take my surfboard, maybe I'll groove Noise addicts and other folks, oh yeah Our hearts were blanketed with it all And then I took off the blanket and saw The pretty shawl you bought for me You're gorgeous, I'm pretty handsome too We make a pair, me and you Me and you forever on and on and on and on Me and you forever, ever on

the kind hills our secret haven the kind hills calm rolling green fields and a tranquillity that appeals and place where she winds down and feels no sorrows no scrolling through a feed we lock away all rage sadness and doubts and greed we have some books to read instead go for a walk to clear the head a short time-out from life the kind hills your secret hideaway where you re-charge when everything’s grey no sorrows no scrolling through a feed we lock away all rage sadness and doubts and greed we have some books to read instead go for a walk to clear the head a short time-out from life

Oh dear fear you arrived knocking at my door Like an old friend you've come Back for more I haven't seen you all day but now you're here Stopping me from stepping into the unknown You whisper doubts in my ear While all my courage disappears Oh no But it's okay I'll find my way As long as you are my light of day Where comfort whispers by my side everything's gonna be alright alright In the quiet of night you steal my sleep Reminding me of secrets that I can't keep You weave your lies so sincere And all my confidence turns to tears But it's okay I'll find my way As long as you are my light of day Where comfort whispers by my side everything's gonna be alright alright It’s okay In the light of day By my side Everything’s gonna be alright Alright

Every day is about you so what can I do? If you're blind and can't see what you have with me I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free There is no time I've let you down I'm there when you need But it feels so one sided and getting heavy I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free tastefully we drown from blue to black we sparkle out pebbled hints become miscarried hearts from which we run I understand we all go through times we are in need But your time is all the time and I might as well leave I understand we all go through times we are in need But your time is all the time and I might as well leave I know you mean well but you're lost inside A labyrinth neglecting anyone outside your mind I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free

Seaside 01:37
I’m at the seaside A beautiful view Salt in the air and The water bright blue I’m at the seaside My eyes on the phone Flipping through products I should maybe own I’m always looking at my telephone Life without it is monotone, it is I miss beauty Things around me & my own life too After I wake up I stare at my phone So many friends there I’m never alone I’m always looking at my telephone Life without it is monotone Life without it is, unknown

about

After their "Simple Life" and "Simple Life II" EPs infused slacker-pop languor into the very heart of jangly indie-pop in 2025, The Kind Hills return with their latest album, "Little Epiphanies", crafting 'odes to simplicity' that somehow tend to resonate with listeners on a deeper level.

In a series of subtle shifts, this international indie-pop collective presents a work that conveys the dull ache of lost love without unnecessary embellishment. It also offers a remedy to such pain as 'simple pleasures', an argument it conveys through an unhurried, unfettered, jangly indie-pop that never strays into the fluffier realms of contrition.

The laid-back, twangy sounds of "All Your Promises" reflect on the empty promises that once held a relationship together while suggesting that comfort can be found in simple joys, such as sharing breakfast with a friend ("...a breckie with Becky") as it helps one realise that life after the end relationship can lead to a greater appreciation for oneself.
Much of the album captures the rejuvenating power of such uncomplicated joys.

From cherished memories of a typical weekend filled with parties and bike rides in "Making Memories" to the exhilarating experience of just dancing in "Dance, Dance, Dance", this theme culminates in "Beer O' Clock", which closes with the anti-poignancy of the line, "Somewhere I hope there is someone just like me/us," that extends the hope of similar slacker energies to all.

It would be tempting for "Little Epiphanies" to dwell on the merits of a leisurely lifestyle with an undercurrent of slacker-pop excess; however, the musical transitions throughout the release keep it moving along ever-evolving edges of languor rather than allowing it to wallow in it.
The delightful ode to indie pop in "Make Indie Pop Great Again" intertwines sweet, twee female vocals with tight, tinny riffs that resonate with The Interpretation Culture aesthetic.

In contrast, the lo-fi charm reminiscent of  "Making Memories", heaves with a lo-fi version of The Lemon Twigs retro-pop schmaltz and serves as a near-perfect counterpoint to the more dulcet jangle of "The Kind Hills" and "Beer O' Clock", as they flirt with the vibes of The Boltons or Bedroom Holiday.

However, the standout tracks on this album may well be the most delicate, as "Seaside" and "Young and Dumb" lay their slacker indulgences atop incidental jangled riffs that flutter in the exquisite, subtle fashion characteristic of your favourite and most understated Fine or Kid Chameleon tracks.

"Little Epiphanies" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of simplicity in indie-pop. Through its thoughtful songwriting, understated arrangements, and gentle exploration of everyday joys and heartaches, the album invites listeners to find beauty in the ordinary. It is a quietly confident release that rewards attentive ears upon repeated listens, reaffirming The Kind Hills' place at the heart of modern slacker-pop.
