Kim Churchill’s style is explosive, with intricate fingerpicking, percussive beats on the body of the guitar, and two-handed tapping intertwined with an earthy stomp box, powerful harmonica melodies and soulful voice. His songwriting reflects his coastal lifestyle – growing up on the East Coast of Australia, with the surf at his front door as well as his nomadic life on the road.
He's a true blue Aussie who is just 21; a surfer with a connection to the sea that
spills out in his performances, even when he's a long, long way from the beach. And he's a reminder to us all that choosing what's in your heart is better than choosing what's in your head.
Kim started his classical guitar training when he was six years old and has since developed a passion and incredible work ethic for his craft. His hands literally dance all over the instrument, banging, taping, fluttering and picking at the strings with purpose and precision. It's easy to get hypnotized by his hands, and thus to become lost in the sound and the soul of the music.
"Already lauded for his intricate folky, finger picking style, Churchill turns it up a notch or
three on this album with the inclusion of deceivingly simple sounding electric rhythms that sit underneath dreamy finger picked guitars lulling you into an intermittent revery the same way a sun shower might before jolting you back to reality with the true nature of the beast. In this case, the beast being steely, incessantly grinding guitars that form the spine of half of these songs."

"Kim Churchill is proof that having a band to back you up can be overrated." – the gateway
"The record on a whole is incredibly consistent both in style and quality, and one, which I feel given the chance, should be listened to in its entirety and not placed at the mercy of the shuffle button."
