From their website, the Kind Hills include members from Australia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States; that is to say, they get around a lot. But they all met in Australia, and their Bandcamp page gives Brisbane as the city of origin I should go with, so Brisbane it is! They're a laid-back jangle pop band with vocals that remind me slightly of Belle and Sebastian, though in their self-description they draw a comparison to The Interpretation Cultures; I think it's actually the first time I've seen an indiepop band draw direct comparisons to their own contemporaries like that? I'm sure there's other examples, but it stood out to me here.
