Sidekick

Sidekick is the evocative, uplifting, and adventurous debut from London-based producer and composer Chris Hyson.

Chris's work as duo Snowpoet with vocalist Lauren Kinsella has earned him a formidable reputation as a producer with a refreshing perspective and spot-on taste. His blending of sweet hook-laden vocal lines with warm and lush arrangements has sparked serious interest from many artists, most notably Jordan Rakei (Ninja Tune).

Citing influences ranging from James Blake to Bjork and Radiohead, Chris' music is soaked with sun-drenched harmonies yet underwritten with darker sub-tones and a sense of melancholy that deeply enriches the music and emotional narrative.

Powerful and compelling, Sidekick is a major new album with collaboration at its core, featuring incredible singers Frida Touray, Alison Sudol, and Soren Bryce as well as instrumentalists Josh Arcoleo and Joe Webb.
