"Omens (Album)" by KAYAM

From the intimacy of folk to indie-pop, organic sounds, and alternative, the sound of the duo has a lot to offer in terms of nuances and originality.

The siblings enjoyed a multicultural upbringing, as they experienced life in places as diverse as England, Germany, and Israel. All of these places and their different twists really inspired the band's music and ability to continually expand their soundscape in order to portray a vast range of personal experiences and beyond.
The album features eleven songs, including the track "Omens" which is the album's groundbreaking lead single. KAYAM are always ready to embrace new creative challenges and take their music to a more personal dimension, allowing their creativity and wide range of influences to stand out.
From the edge of alternative music down to the melodies of alt-pop, Kim and Mike are always eager to splice up different influences into a cohesive and one-of-a-kind sound.
