After exploding in Japan, expanding in SE Asia and steadily developing in France and Europe, Kitsuné felt it was time to get closer to the USA!

For the first time, the Parisian emporium has compiled a quirky, eclectic selection of fresh new US artists. One album full of the stuff that we like most: good songs and big talents yet to be discovered, from indie bands to dance producers and whatever can fit in between.

Covering the many bases of electropop, indie-dance and everything in between, Kitsuné America offers a lively snapshot of what is cooking up for 2012 in the US!

With the label and brand celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, it was also the perfect timing for the opening of the new Maison Kitsuné boutique in New York – at the NoMad hotel in April – to be precise, and the kick off of the second Kitsuné Club Night US Tour including stops at SXSW and Miami WMC!
