Having recently completed a UK tour with Phantogram, Brighton-based threesome Kins have also just released two tracks that act as a b-side to "Mockasin's". Originally hailing off of Kins' self-titled debut record released back in July 2013, "Mockasin's" now stands on its own as a single accompanied by two counterparts, of which are pretty mind blowing.

Made officially available on May 1, the two new songs "Society" and "SBIB" waver in experiment, while remaining true to Kins' alternative sound. "Society", running only a minute and a half long, showcases Thomas Savage's encapsulating vocals that masterfully billow over drowned out instrumentation. If only it was longer.

"SBIB" proves more psychedelic and experimental, but still maintains that signature hum we all know and love as backdrop. It's something we haven't heard from Kins before, hence our excitement surrounding this release.

All three tracks are available on Kins' Soundcloud page for free download. You can also catch Kins at Bonnaroo in Tennessee on June 12, Taste of Randolf Street in Chicago on June 14, and at North by North East in Toronto on June 20 among many other tour dates of which you can find here.
