This year will see the enigmatic band Improvement Movement releasing a series of singles, each as labyrinthine and whimsical as the last. Their catalog is, by turns, neurotic and playful. From the kaleidoscopic and mind-expanding, to apocalyptic folk, Improvement Movement proves to be as frenetic as it is thoughtful and as incisive as it is flippant.
Improvement Movement includes (but is not limited to) a rotating cast of Atlanta musicians like Tony Aparo, Zach Pyles, Marshall Ruffin (The Mount, RUFFIN), Clark Hamilton (klark.sound, Safari Williams), — each a full-fledged artist in their own right — to execute their recordings and live shows. With their forthcoming release set for Summer 2022, the group hopes to satisfy its contractual obligations to Acrophase Records.
Figure out what floor you need to get off at and hop on an elevator ride through the cosmos provided by Improvement Movement via their latest psych-pop single “Kinda Paradise”. As the flute/synth intro takes you past your favorite PBS themes of the 70’s, feel free to take a swim in the aquatic vocals flowing into the catchy, pop-laden chorus. “Kinda Paradise” is an exciting little trip without any dark turns that drops you right back off at your happy place in one piece.Â
