I'm opening for my absolute musical heroes, AIR, this Saturday at Het Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. This feels kind of unreal (in the best way). Their work has been hugely inspirational to me while working on my upcoming record, Dark Sky Reserve. Can’t wait to see them live!

I’ve been listening to This Is The Kit for many years, I love their sound and melodies. So I’m VERY excited to announce that I’ll be joining them on tour this August. I can’t wait to see them perform live and open their shows across the UK 💙

“An Hour Per Day“ is sort of a meta track about itself. “What started as a guitar-based demo and a piano noodle grew into a layered, mostly instrumental track shaped by intuitive improvisation, tension, and happy accidents,” says Dutch musician @robinkester.com.

Robin Kester - An Hour Per Day

The title of Robin Kester’s new single is a quiet meditation in itself, and the almost haunting melody deepens that mood. “An Hour Per Day” - quick, think: what would you want to do for one hour each ...

I can finally share An Hour Per Day; one of my favourite songs from the upcoming album. Thanks to Una Jongenelis for the beautiful animation. robinkester.ffm.to/anhourperday
