It's been four long and strenuous years for the duo of Jed & Lucia, whose debut album/EP Candles In Daylight was praised forwards and backwards for the mixture of apocalyptic and sullen thematic realms and the stunningly haunting complement that...

Here at the Bona Fide Darling, we are not strangers to the greatness of San Francisco's Kite In The Air. Dreamy, languid electronic beats and the angelic voice of Emma Lucia stepping in front of said beats. The more I listen to them, the more I love their music. You can still get their latest EP Magic Marker for free. We had the opportunity to chat up Emma about Kite In The Air's music, the music scene in San Francisco, I [...]

As you take a look through the list of my favorite singles from this past year, you may notice something a little off. Yep, my favorite songs this past year have been dominated by a lot of female artists or female fronted bands. But, the men also represent this year... just not as strongly as last year. 16. Trouble Andrew - Chase Money Snowboarder turned electro-punk Trevor Andrew turned in one of the best songs of the year with "Chase Money." It keeps the punk philosophy, adds some electronics [...]
Don't you just love the days when you wake up bright as a button, get up out of... nay,bound out of bed with a spring, hitting the ground running. Breakfast. Protein. Coffee. Straight into work. Racing through your daily objectives! Chapters flying out of your ears. Even when life and it's duties try to annoy you [...]

As I started this post I noticed that it's number 1,000 in our long illustrious blogging career. So, tip that Lone Star back celebrate peoples. Back to our regularly scheduled program... Kite In The Air have release their second EP, Magic Marker , and their second single "Stretch It On." It's a spacey chilled out, blissed-out, baby electro track that is perfect for... well, anything. But, alas, there is better news kids-- Magic Marker is available for free. Yep, as in you don't have to [...]
KITE IN THE AIR When looking at 'super groups', making a whole that is greater than taking it's individual parts is often one hell of a hit or miss business. Just check out rock's attempts, with Velvet Revolver missing it badly, or the more recent Dead Weather , who made it work with a little more success, (although Jack White could join Jedward and make it work as far as we are concerned). Kite In The Air isn't quite a 'super group', but the members have previously existed in separation. Mike [...]
Exciting news! Kite in the Air, the trio formed by Mike Genius, Mark Reveley & Emma Lucia just released a brand new EP titled Magic Marker. I was really impressed (so impressed that I included... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
I'd like to put a little more kindling on a group that I'd like to see catch a fire: Kite In The Air . This kindling goes atop the modest pile started by MOKB and Sheena Beaston about six months ago right after the release of their debut self-titled ep. Kite In The Air is collaboration between San Fernando Valley's folksy songwriter Emma Lucia of acoustic act Jed and Lucia and recently-mentioned east/west electro duo WZRDZ out of The Bay & Brooklyn. The sounds they in collection are deliciously [...]
After listening to an extraodinarily good new single from San Francisco, California-based music project Kite In the Air for the better part of this past week, we received late word last evening that their sophomore EP, titled Magic Marker, was actually just released... within the past 24 hours! Our original feature of their debut, self-titled EP happened a few short months ago when the weather

Here's the second EP release by California band Kite in the Air called "Magic Marker". Kite in the Air is Emma Lucia on vox (Jed & Lucia) with production by Mark Reveley (WZRDZ, Meterhead, Jed & Lucia) and Mike Genius (WZRDZ). Self characterizing their style is captured somewhere between Adult, Laika, Ladyhawke, Azure Ray, Mu, Gary Numan, The Pretty Things and Sebastian - which is obviously very wide-ranging or can be taken to mean that they're kinda undecided. But there's not even a suggestion of undecidedness - these guys definitively do know what [...]

It hasn't really been that long since we told you about San Francisco's Kite in the Air . But, they are already back with their second EP of the year, Magic Marker . This time the production is a little bit tighter, however, they are still rockin' it like Ladytron's poppy, non-maniacal kid sister. Emma Lucia's voice perfectly compliments the groups throbbing electronica sound. This song shows maturity and progression in their sound, they deserve to be up there with the big names in the electronic scene. [...]

It's a known fact here in Beastonia, that I await with baited breath at the mere mention of new music coming out of camp Kite in the Air . They've impressed with every effort thus far, so it's so surprise that in getting an email late this aftenoon from lead vocalist, Emma, that there would be the subsequent post immediately afer listening. Kite in the Air blew me away with their self titled debut EP back in May, so word of a second EP, due out later [...]

Mike Genius, himself a reputable DJ, producer and person, is also in the massive hyperbole-needed groups Kite In The Air and WZRDZ. Wherever he ends up, it always seems that the music remains top notch and never settling for mediocre....
Just over two and a half years ago, in August 2006, we featured the lovely duo of Jed & Lucia from northern California. Since that time, there have been no updates or communication of which to speak, so it was a complete surprise when opening our email to find an impressive new side-project that deserved our immediate attention. Kite In The Air is the beautiful vocals of Stockholm, Sweden native

Kite in the Air is Emma Lucia on vox (Jed & Lucia) with production by Mark Reveley (WZRDZ, Meterhead, Jed & Lucia) & Mike Genius (WZRDZ.) With its soft electro-pop, Kite in the Air resembles the works of Ladytron, Ladyhawke, Azure Ray, Mu, Gary Newman,The Pretty Things & SebastiAn. The EP includes soft songs like “Filed Away” that wrap you in its harmony that perfectly balances the upbeat, yet still quite soft, “Take it or Leave it” which is a catchy tune (you’ll soon be singing “ohohoh take it or leave it”). Another golden nugget in [...]
