South Florida’s indie/folk alternative rock band Kids have released “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer III” (produced by C&I Studios), the final in a 3-part series of unique self-produced album trailers, teasing their highly anticipated debut album Rich Coast which is set for release on January 27, 2015.
These brilliantly talented musicians (& filmmakers) strive to stand out by creating a series of album trailers, a concept to interpret the tone and feel of Rich Coast. “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer III,” follows a traveler (singer/bassist Joshua Diaz) on his adventurous journey to get back to his love. In Part II, which premiered last week, Kids’ story left off with the traveler jumping into the ocean. Featuring their powerfully enchanting song “Vistas,” the series closes on an extraordinary note. “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer III” brings the audience underwater as the traveler fights the ocean, finding a sailboat that will take him to shore.
Kids (similar to Young the Giant, American Authors, Mumford & Sons) is an eclectic four piece American Indie-rock band formed in 2012 by Josiah Sampson (guitar), Joshua Diaz (lead vocals, bass), Matthew Barrios (drums) and Christian Gonzalez (guitar). Aside from their musical career, the band works in lead production roles at C&I Studios in Fort Lauderdale alongside Director Joshua Miller, who after hearing Rich Coast for the first time got a creative itch; writing a series of trailers, music videos, and branding concepts that would ultimately set the release of Rich Coast on the map in the music and film industry and beyond. Together, setting a new standard for the relationship between indie songwriting, Kids and C&I Studios are expanding their creativity and transforming their music into short film, bringing their listeners (and viewers) on a journey through time as they tell their story. With their album trailer series (and upcoming music video this winter) this sensational band is proving that they’re not just an indie-rock band, they’re an all-inclusive musical experience.
With their debut album, Kids are reinventing the feeling of freedom that reminds us of wanderlust and adventure. Rich Coast unites vintage folk sounds with symphonic melodies and an array of unique instrumentals creating an original indie-rock album. Rich Coast features a wide variety of rare and distinctive eastern instruments such as Gϋseng, Shruti Box, Zither, Melodica and Casinets, and western instruments Hammer Dulcimer, Ukeline, Banjo and Nashville Guitar to complete Kids’ passionate tale. Kids’ debut album Rich Coast was produced by Jeremiah Dunlap at Emissary Studios in Orlando, FL, mixed by James Joseph Audio in Memphis, and mastered by Brad Blackwood at Euphoric Mastering in Nashville, TN.
Kids is entering the spotlight by connecting with listeners and evoking powerful emotions through vibrant melodies and passionate lyrics as they find their place in the world. “Rich Coast: Album Trailer III” gives listeners a cinematic sneak peek at their highly anticipated full-length album Rich Coast which is to be released digitally on January 27, 2015. Kids will continue to bring listeners on their adventure with more exciting announcements including two imaginative music videos to be released this winter.
