June 10th, 2014 - Burbank, CA - Grammy-Award winning singerKimbrawill release a new album, entitledThe Golden Echo, on August 19thvia Warner Bros. Records. The album is available for pre-order on all participating retailers today. Those who pre-order will receive three instant downloads of the album tracks"Love In High Places," "90s Music,"and"Nobody But You."A video for"90s Music,"directed byJustin Francis(Alicia Keys, The Roots, Gwen Stefani), premiered onJustJaredon June 3rdand can be viewedhere.Slatehas already called "90s Music" "an incredibly ambitious, impressive mix of genres" with its bubblegum pop melody, electronically altered vocal, stop-start tempo, and spare hip-hop beat.

The ultimate modern pop record,The Golden Echois ambitious, sophisticated, and complex, just like its creator. The New Zealand-born singer and songwriter wrote the songs in her bedroom studio on a farm in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, where she was surrounded by sheep and lambs owned by her landlady. "It was a very humbling experience," says Kimbra, who moved in the day after winning two Grammy Awards, including "Record of the Year," for the No. 1 single "Somebody That I Used To Know" withGotye.

The result of her labors isThe Golden Echo, which was produced by Kimbra with Rich Costey (Foster The People, Interpol, Muse), who has been on her dream list of collaborators since she was 15. The lyrics find her grappling with a range of subject matter, from feeling nostalgic about young love on "90s Music," to being caught up in a place of narrowness on"Madhouse," to wanting to run away and make a new life on "Carolina," to the vulnerability that follows succumbing to temptation on "Everlovin' Ya."

Sonically, the album is a riot of genres: '70s disco ("Miracle"), Prince-like funk ("Madhouse"), playful, sing-songy electro-pop ("90s Music"), eerie space-age hip-hop ("Goldmine"), plus an emotionally resonant piano ballad, "As You Are," with a string arrangement byVan Dyke Parks. Her lo-fi bedroom aesthetic is filled out by the playing of the musicians, who include drummerJohn JR Robinson, (Michael Jackson's main studio drummer), bassistThundercat,R&B singerBilal, Daniel Johns (Silverchair), Queens Of The Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman, and mega-starJohn Legend. Bonus tracks on the deluxe editioninclude appearances fromBen Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan,TheMars Volta'sOmar Rodriguez-Lopez,and Jonas Bjerre of Danish band Mew.

Kimbra also worked on songswith Dave Longstreth and Flying Lotus during the making of The Golden Echo, which are set to be released later in theyear.

The Golden Echois Kimbra's second album. Her 2011 debut,Vows, bowed at No. 14 on theBillboardTop 200 and was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. Kimbra exploded into the public consciousness that same year with"Somebody That I Used To Know,"a duet with Gotye that earned her Grammy Awards for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance." The song toppedBillboard's Hot 100 chart in 2012 and was the best-selling song of that year in the U.S. It has sold more than 13 million copies.
