Album: Kid 

Label: Telegraph 

Genre: Alt-rock, folk rock 

Comments: From the promoter: "Kid is the second LP from Connecticut duo Violent Mae. Rising from Becky Kessler's guitar-driven songwriting and multi-instrumentalist Floyd Kellogg's production, the LP... [defies] expectations with a dynamic, fuzzy, low-rock sound in openers 'In the Sun' and 'In My Ring'. Guitars are atmospheric, and the bass serves as backbone, while drums drive throughout... A certain sadness permeates the record, but the listener can always find a silver-lining sense of warmth and strength."
