(FT. LAUDERDALE, FL) -- KIDS, an alt indie rock band from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, will release of their new album Lost Cities, due out July 31, 2020 via Tooth & Nail Records. The group has released 3 dreamy singles of the album, "Visitor," "All Smoke, No Fire," and "Pale Horse."  

As the singles would confirm, KIDS are making the most of their ethereal, spacey sound to create a world all their own. On the album, KIDS states, "Lost Cities is a love letter to the men and women who have worked selflessly to steer Spaceship Earth in the right direction, making something of themselves to better the world around them."

KIDS includes Matthew Barrios, Joshua Diaz, Christian Gonzalez, Josiah Sampson and Andrew Woomer are unified by one simple motive: stay true to yourself. There's a Picasso quote "All children are artists; the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up," They use to fuel that motive; it's a reminder to always be anchored in authenticity.

First artists, then storytellers, KIDS uses cinematic instrumentation as a vehicle for their storytelling. Sweeping soundscapes and epic brass sections play to their eager and animated nature while showcasing their sophisticated musicianship. A self-expressed band of "sadboys," KIDS sings songs of love and loss through a lens of escape and imagination.

Since their conception in 2012, KIDS released a full-length record in 2015 and plans to release their next project on Tooth & Nail Records in 2020.
