Kindness, a one-man indie disco-funk-R&B band led by Adam Bainbridge recently released ‘Otherness’. His second full lenght-album features Kelela and Ade. ‘Otherness’ is out October 13 via Female Energy, available on iTunes or Amazon or direct.

»Splitting his time between London and Berlin, he cites influences that include American disco icons Arthur Russell, Larry Levan, and Leroy Burgess. The commercial recording debut of Kindness, “Swingin’ Party,” a disco-punk cover version of the Replacements song, was an MP3 blog favorite in 2009, as was its B-side, “Gee Up.” The first full-length, which was co-produced by Philip Zdar (of Cassius), followed soon after in the first quarter of 2012. World, You Need a Change of Mind was issued by Female Energy/Polydor and featured all the previously released singles as well as an unexpectedly lovely and dubbed-out cover of Anita Dobson’s “Anyone Can Fall in Love,” a song best known as the theme to the popular U.K. television show Eastenders. During the tour that followed, Bainbridge began to warm to the idea of collaboration and the exciting uncertainty that can come with it.«
