Kisses
Much loved members of the Australian underground, Naarm/Melbourne-based five-piece kisses makes music that is whimsical, intimate and playful; a minimal yet expansive style of genre-bending folk. kisses 2026 sees kisses return with ‘You Are in My Dreams’, a follow up to 2024’s self-titled ‘kisses’ which serves a textural expanse of heartfelt poetics, meandering guitars, grungy violin, and layered vocal harmonies woven through a spirited folk rhythm section with a deep groove at its core.
As reviewed by Freq (UK), ‘You Are In My Dreams finds these core components recombined in subtly more grown-up fashion, with added newer ingredients… the ten gathered pieces cast broader, deeper and occasionally darker spells that bring in Americana-adjacent shades of ‘90s vintage post-rock as well as plugging further into the rich lineage of melancholic left-of-the-dial Antipodean artisans.’
Kisses’ captivating live show spin worlds of heartbreak and transcendence, chaos and harmony. Songs take on new life with every performance and are never the same twice. Fresh from a late-2025 tour of Japan and a nationwide Australian tour this summer, kisses loves you and can’t wait to see you soon.
