KERMIT is a jazz/post-rock project from Malaga (Spain) that was born from the desire to experiment with the endless possibilities offered by two guitars, a bass and a drumkit. The result is a landscape of multiple textures that make sense when played together, only when superimposed. KERMIT is a melancholic trip that is sometimes subtle and tender, and some others aggressive and heartbreaking.
KERMIT's musical influences include the names of Slint, Radiohead, 12twelve, Afghan Whigs, At The Drive-In, Refused, Tortoise, Manta Ray, Portishead, Toe, Shiner, Sonic Youth, Liars, Mogwai, Karate, Burning Airlines, The Cinematic Orchestra, Miles Davis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, etc., yet its influences also cover other fields such as literature, films, graphic art & design, etc.
"[...] this post-rock band from Malaga is fond of extensive crescendos, tiny twisting noises, sound landscapes, Martian guitar sounds and, above all, tastefulness. That's Kermit. The notes played by their guitars travel through different sound machines that mould them to create pure sound landscapes: intertwining pictures of the Caribbean and the Antarctica seen through a looking glass. You watch these pictures while the breeze caresses your feet. It's the bass and the drums that set the beat of the pieces. I know that the term 'pieces' is somewhat pretentious, but... if there is no singer, how are we going to call them 'songs'? [...]" Review Modernícolas Magazine.
"Their music makes a very wide range of references and is a truly interesting proposition, able to shift the tempo and the dynamics quite substantially, although with a very deliberate, patient demeanor". Za Records Magazine.
"one of the most interesting European instrumental post-rock / jazz projects". Idioteq Magazine.
"An intelligent instrumental project of many carats". La Opinion Newspaper.
"Kermit perfectly exemplify the band that is based on dreams, work and talent. Kermit are deservedly making their way into the musical scene almost with no help or support". Staf Magazine.
"A convincing album that hides a wonderful listening experience". Musikmitherz Magazine.
