Kids Return is the Parisian duo of Adrien Rozé and Clément Savoye, crafting emotionally charged, cinematic indie-pop shaped by friendship, nostalgia, and a distinctly French sensitivity. Their name nods to Takeshi Kitano’s 1996 film Kids Return, reflecting the melancholic yet hopeful themes that run through their sound—coming-of-age, memory, and the bittersweet beauty of youth. Their music blends analog warmth with orchestral arrangements, a meditation on youth remembered and reimagined. Look out for their sophomore album, 1997, set for release April 4.
