From the first few beats, Kiddos’ new single “Blind” breaks through with a refreshing, laid-back attitude, wrapping gritty themes in irresistibly bright tones. Blending alternative rock with pop-rock elements, Kiddos have crafted a track that’s rebellious, playful, and, in typical Kiddos style, doesn’t take itself too seriously. “Blind” explores the kind of toxic, manipulative relationship where denial reigns—but with such a sunny vibe, the sound tells us this story isn’t one that lingers in sorrow.
What stands out in “Blind” is the constant, flowing guitar line that underpins the track. Its steady presence offers an anchor amid the track’s subtly evolving layers, especially as Kiddos alternate between both voices. There’s a circular, almost claustrophobic rock repetition that gives the song a melancholic indie edge, but this moody undertone feels effortless rather than heavy. It’s that “fake it ’til you make it” effect the band thrives on, creating a tune that’s both catchy and subtly complex.
In Kiddos’ stripped-back, lo-fi production style, there’s a deliberate choice to avoid overproduction, giving “Blind” a raw charm that’s both sunny and carefree. The track feels spontaneous, like a late-summer anthem that captures both good vibes and quiet struggles without overplaying either. The result is a sound that’s just as likely to make you laugh as it is to make you think, and it’s this mix that keeps Kiddos on our radar as a band to watch.
