FM4 Soundpark is a web platform, community, and radio show for and with Austrian musicians. In an ongoing collaboration, FM4’s team recommends particular artists of the moment to amplify. Today, the honor goes to: Kids don’t smoke.
In this edition, FM4 spotlights Austrian indie-pop newcomer Kids don’t smoke, whose dreamy, melancholic debut single “Headlights” slowly climbed the FM4 charts to reach number one. The track’s soft vocals and understated production evoke a quiet emotional resonance, making it unexpectedly captivating with each listen. The piece also touches on the project’s mysterious persona, DIY production style, and introspective lyrics that reflect a sense of searching and vulnerability. Kids don’t smoke presents a fresh, authentic voice in Austria’s indie music scene.
You can currently find three songs from Kids don’t smoke on the internet (don’t miss “lottery”), and Jan aka Kids don’t smoke has promised us the next single “Blackout” for the beginning of July.
