'Being Waves', the second album from London-based collective Kinkajous, traverses broad musical dimensions through carefully crafted soundscapes, with a poignant and intimate feel, gratifying in both its generosity and restraint. The music travels through multiple realities and touches on ideas of certainty, belief and identity. With alluring couplings between electronic and instrumental sounds, Kinkajous portray fascinating scenes with unique finesse and energy. A compelling tracklist with cohesive musical personality throughout. Melodic elements navigate through dense, chaotic rumbles of brass, synths and drums, accompanying the listener like a guide through a storm.

Benoît (drums) and Adrien (woodwind) recount Being Waves as being "the result of a deep-dive trying to unfold layers of realities. An attempt to play with our own beliefs, our own illusions". This motif is present throughout the record, with its intricate orchestration and production techniques that often prompt listeners to question whether what they are hearing is what it appears to be, continuously challenging their perspectives and preconceptions.
