"(A band) with an optimistic moniker and an effervescent sound that amply justifies it... (Jim) Hanke and Nina Lanthrum share the vocal duties like a less punk/rootsy, more emo/new-wave version of X's John Doe and Exene Cervenka, while their bandmates keep things moving forward with a propulsive urgency that never neglects the classic Midwestern power-pop melodies... Make a worthwhile investment in Loomings."
-- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times

"Independent music at its finest -- captivating and powerful. The back-and-forth vocals of singers Nina Lanthrum and Jim Hanke are immensely enjoyable on songs like 'West'. Their voices are a perfect pairing."
-- UR Chicago

"(KYMM) has a firm grasp on the basic indie-pop formula - chiming guitars, slightly swoony male vocals, some keys floating around here and there. Fortunately, they’re smart enough not to limit themselves to it: Their new self-released CD, Loomings, is full of unexpected zigs and zags, like dizzy psychedelic production flourishes or the occasional chugging guitar, which implies that someone in the band has some Fugazi in their collection among all that Built to Spill. Add to that a high hooks-to-songs ratio and an assured, no-sweat performance, and you’ve got what’s easily the best rock album to come out of Geneva in a minute."
-- Chicago Reader

"Truly independent music has an urgency that you don't always find in major label - or even indie label - releases. Perhaps it is the fact that the band has something more substantial invested or that they are more focused on each step of the process, but as you listen to the debut album from the suburban (Chicago) band Kid, You'll Move Mountains, you can feel that urgency."
-- Gapers Block

"Loomings shows considerable craft and, even more evident, care. These songs were sculpted and kept warm."
-- Newcity

"An extremely easy band to like... Refreshingly devoid of any pretension or posturing... The band's super catchy guitar/piano rock just sounds substantial and with their alternating male/female vocals and a big collective sound, they remind me of another substantial band: The New Pornographers."
-- Oh My Rockness

"A dense and melodic sound that is as catchy as it is intricate... Honest music that sounds huge while also being intimate and simultaneously relaxed but totally exciting."
-- Can You See The Sunset...

"Loomings is one of the best new indie offerings I've heard this year... Kid, You'll Move Mountains renews my faith that hard work and dedication pay off."
-- Barefoot Scribbles

"We like bands with inventive names. We like bands that play with energy on stage even though their sound could lend then to a much mellower style. Kid, You'll Move Mountains is a band that impressed us from the get-go when we heard them for the first time, both outdoors and live... Edgy indie-rock, but not dirty. Actually, highly polished, and behind the precise instrumentation and sirenesque vocals, KYMM moves back and forth between the lovely and the large."
-- Avant/Chicago

"It's fascinating that a record void of verse-chorus structures can still be so damn catchy. Yet, this Illinois quintet manages to riffle through this 9-song LP with the sort of urgency that outweighs any requirement for sing-along stanzas... This theatric debut is a collection of dark tales melding loss with rebirth (and love with hate)... that simultaneously feels warm and intimate."
-- Chicago Innerview

"(Loomings is) a dense, poetic record that sounds like a labor of love should: rife with emotion, leaving its listeners with the delightful predicament of wanting to simultaneously dance, sing, and listen reflectively... (KYMM) seems poised for greatness."
-- Venuszine.com

"A band refusing to take its time on the path to greatness. Indie-rock that's both charming and scathing, with an equal chance of landing on a mix CD to an ex, as a new crush."
-- Metromix Chicago

"Energetic, and in many ways, inventive. I haven’t seen too many indie pop bands fall to the floor and manipulate the pedal like a pure noise band the way they did. Their sounds were surprising and refreshing."
-- Deli Magazine

"Off-kilter indie-pop, which packages the emotional slow-burn of Death Cab For Cutie with the unhinged glee of The Dismemberment Plan."
-- Shepherd Express, Milwaukee

"(Loomings has) the intensity of a love affair - Stressful, exciting, heartbreaking and overwhelming, all at the same time. Highly recommended!"
-- Battery In Your Leg

"Hanke and Jones harmonize in a way that causes chills to run along the audience’s collective neck. The lyrics are poetically vague, but endlessly singable. This clearly is the work of people who know exactly what they are doing."
-- Chicago Daily Herald

"The group shows it is a force to be reckoned with on 'West,' a track complete with the intertwined voices of Jim Hanke and Nina Lanthrum. The breakdown features a vocal tete-a-tete between (the two singers), with the rest of the band snapping back into action and climaxing with a subdued-yet-effective solo from Wills. (KYMM) combines keen technical skill (Nina is a classically trained pianist) with raw fire power. However, the group does not bombard the listener with either. They play both sides perfectly, and show promise."
