Kite In The Air Genre: Electronic / Ambient / Pop From: San Francisco, California, United States Kite in the Air is Emma Lucia on vox ( Jed & Lucia ) with production by Mark Reveley ( WZRDZ , Meterhead , Jed & Lucia) and Mike Genius (WZRDZ.). Falling somewhere between Adult and Ladytron lead singer Emma's haunting vocals float over the icy electro [...]
Imagine, if you will, an electro group in the same vein as Ladytron. Now imagine said group also has a female singer and her voice isn't monotone and somewhat scary. Got it, yet? Is that group Kite in the Air ? I knew it! I should do this for a living! The group has a propulsive electro sound that is on par with groups like Ladytron. The main difference being Kite in the Air is more dance oriented. Don't let that comparison scare you, it's not Paul van Dyke [...]
KITE IN THE AIR is Emma Lucia on vox ( JED & LUCIA ) with production by Mark Reveley ( WZRDZ , METERHEAD , Jed & Lucia) and MIKE GENIUS (WZRDZ.) Falling somewhere between Adult, Laika, Ladyhawke, Azure Ray, Mu, Gary Numan, The Pretty Things and Sebastian. Their EP dropped ahead of schedule (it was scheduled for release in May). I'm not sure what they're live show is like but conjures images of smoke and flashing lights as if they [...]
Seems like about once a week we need to throw together a post that has a couple of different artists/new acts featured within. Lately, it's seemingly impossible to get caught up to speed, and if this is how we have to go about it, then so be it. Let's do this. Kite in the Air mesmerized me again with their second offering, Filed Away . KitA are, quite literally, the dream team of ethereal electro. mp3: Kite in the Air - Filed [...]
There are few things to speak of that are more beautiful than this, the second song to be released from Kite In The Air and their debut, eponymous EP, "Filed Away". There is a terribly perfect marriage of the synthetic (the beats, effects and arrangements) and the organic (vocalist Emma Lucia 's bellowed vocals), the fact that it seems like the group has already anticipated their audience and the overwhelmingly pretty harmonies employed over the song's five minutes' time. Falling somewhere between Adult., Gary Numan and that feeling you get at the first signs of spring, Kite [...]

A new side project by Mark Reveley and Mike Genius of WZRDZ (which we finally posted a few days ago), Kite in the Air is a different project with more melody and rhythm than their past endeavors. The group also includes the vocals of Emma Lucia of Jed & Lucia (which Mark Reveley is also a part of) adding to the melancholy female driving electroclash element. To be honest, 'Builder' reminds me of Ladytron ... something I haven't listened to in a long long time. I really love how [...]
Reminds me of a more electro vibed Ladytron. Great bassline that dominates and clubs everything in its path. Kite in the Air is Emma Lucia on vox ( Jed & Lucia ) with production by Mark Reveley ( WZRDZ , Meterhead , Jed & Lucia ) and Mike Genius (WZRDZ.) Emma and Mark have worked together for the last couple years on Jed and Lucia, and both live in Berkeley. Mike is an old friend of theirs from when they all lived in LA who is now living in Brooklyn. They reconnected in [...]
Kite in the Air released their first single yesterday, which is taken from their upcoming self titled EP due in May. Here's the rad thing about Kite in the Air. The members are comprised of artists we've featured in some aspect or another at least once on the site before. Emma Lucia (Jed & Lucia) takes on the vocals. Mark Reveley (WZRDZ, Meterhead, Jed & Lucia) and Mike Genius (WZRDZ) secure the tight production with their usual perfection. The lead single, [...]
KITE IN THE AIR released their first single today from their upcoming self titled EP due in May. It's another project involving METERHEAD by way of WZRDZ . Fronted by Emma Lucia on vox (Jed & Lucia) the EP is backed in production by Mark Reveley and MIKE GENIUS . The result is etheral and dreamy. MP3: Kite in the Air - Builder
We sometimes are privy to things that are instantly and understandably so good and promising, we gush and gush and gush--out loud. In the past, we've gotten these goosebumpy emotions a few times before. Two of those times were for Meterhead and Mike Genius and, you know, when those two combined to form WZRDZ , we sort of got unruly with our glee. Today, we got an email from Mark from Meterhead and WZRDZ about his new project that is just ramping up called Kite In The Air , which features Emma Lucia on [...]
Jed & Lucia , who MOKB featured a few years ago , have teamed up with Mike Genius, of WZRDZ , and launched an electro-dance project called Kite In The Air . They say it falls somewhere between Ladyhawke + Adult + Santigold + Azure Ray + Mu + Sebastian. Whatever that is, it's pretty hot... Kite In The Air - Builder (320kbs @ their website ) [...]
