‘btw.’ is the latest release from Brixon-based three-piece kid apollo. The track centres itself around a mellow, swirling acoustic guitar part that interlocks its intricacies with the laid-back lead vocal and locks into the rhythmically tight, jazzy drum part. “This song was a way of me validating myself going out and just doing things that waste my time in order to take my mind off of something. Sometimes this is the best way to deal with it, as it’s the only way to free up your mind of the situation.” Be sure to check out the EP, u the real star, which is out now and contains six other bangers. They play London’s Moth Club with Dexter on December 16th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
