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 a current 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.
