Kingsley Flood play salt-of-the-earth type of music that doesn't strive for authenticity -- it claims it. After the critical acclaim of their first album, 'Dust Windows,' which was championed by NPR, the Boston group returns with a five-song EP, 'Colder Still,' that deals with the unravel the complexities of privilege, class and the American dream.
"I've had my fair share of jobs where well-off people insist that they're in it to help the less privileged, and also insist that a photographer be there while they're doing it" frontman Naseem Khuri tells Spinner.

Take a listen to Kingsley Flood's tune 'Mannequin Man' above. The song is the tale of an ambitious do-gooder, who performs acts of charity for the wrong reasons.
With their rambling rhythms, blistering guitar work and impressionistic and Dylanesque lyrics, the band cooks up Americana ranging from city to country in the space of one short song. 'Colder Still' is out now.
