Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is the second studio album by British electronic music duo Mount Kimbie. It was released on Warp Records on May 27, 2013. Vocalist King Krule is featured on two tracks.
On 25 March 2013, Pitchfork announced the release of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, Mount Kimbie's second album. The album was released on 28 May 2013 with Warp Records and features two collaborations with King Krule. Single "Made to Stray" was first aired on London DJ Ben UFO's weekly Rinse FM show on 7 March 2013. The track was also featured in an advert for Intel and FC Barcelona, along with "Break Well", another track from the album.
Campos says in an interview with Pitchfork Media "With Mount Kimbie, we started off trying to imitate other stuff-- and we failed. But in failing to do that, we stumbled across a sound that's inherently our own. Failing to imitate others only happens because of the mindset that you come from. It's part of finding your own voice. When musicians go through that, the results are, by definition, original. Most of the music that sounds like it's been influenced by [Crooks & Lovers] that has come out since sounds fairly dull, and it's not something we want to carry on doing. We want to get away from it.".
Maker says in an interview with FACT "The new stuff is a lot more free than the songs we’ve done before, in terms of composition. It’s still entirely produced on a computer, but the drums and percussion are much more live in their feel, in rhythm and in flow. In terms of the actual sound…it’s quite a bit bigger sounding that what we’ve done before. I think it’s still quite delicate material, but it has a bigger sound compared to the last album, and I think that must be informed really greatly by what we’ve spent the last two years doing – playing live."
As part of album release, Mount Kimbie hosted their "Mount Kimbie & friends" Boiler Room session on 21 May. Guest DJs included James Blake, Gilles Peterson, Micachu, George Fitzgerald, Midland, Jon Rust, Reecha, and Demus.
