Kyle Krone's wave washed croons and chill vibe on "Alone in Paradise"













Dreamy Imagery

Alone in Paradise by Kyle Krone is a sleepy bit of time at some tropical place, escaping on a beach of your choice and staring at the beautiful ocean. Krone's washed out hushed croons lullaby you amidst lush guitars and piano notes dancing in the air. Krone grew up in a small California beach town tucked away between L.A. and San Diego and is, no doubt, drawing on personal inspirations. He founded and fronted the 2000's indie rock band The Shys getting signed to Sire Records. The Shy's Never Gonna Die hit number 1 on Billboards US Garage Rock Charts. They toured for 7 years supporting a ton of bands (The KillersThe StrokesPhoenix) and then in 2011 Krone started producing solo works (like "For Those Who Think Young"). In 2018 he started lending his ears and business acumen by producing other up and coming artists like Wes Chiller and Jolene Dixon. No word if Krone is set to release a full length this year but keeping my eyes and ears open while chilling on that beach.

In the summer of 2011, after seven years of touring domestically and internationally with some of indie rocks most lauded acts (The KillersThe StrokesPhoenix) the then 27 year old entered the studio with a fresh creative vision and a new found exuberance producing his solo debut "For Those Who Think Young" with engineer Mark Rains (B.R.M.C, Robert Francis).
