Musical style and influences

[edit | edit source]

With a creative process rooted in collaborative experimentation, Chiiild's work has been universally described as "genre-bending."[3][4] Various styles the band has drawn from include soul,[2] R&B,[5] psychedelia,[6] jazz,[7] indie,[8] and pop.[9] The band have dubbed this wide-ranging textural sound as “synthetic soul”.

The band has cited D'Angelo, Tame Impala, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, The Notorious B.I.G., Brandy, Wu-Tang Clan, Fleetwood Mac and Moby as influences.[1][10]
