The second single from their album Go Fly. We featured Think in Stereo back in July, and personally I think this is the better of the two. "Austin’s Boy + Kite has released the second single from its critically praised debut album Go Fly. “Deciphering Static” is another example of the fine boy-girl vocal sharing that has become the band’s signature."

Tweet Generally speaking, water and musical instruments don't mix, but Boy + Kite (the + is "plus", not "and") managed to find a way to make it work. In fairness, it's not as though they routinely gig from a hot tub, but they did form in one. It's impressive enough that they could muster the energy and inspiration to do anything other than kick back with a cold one, if you ask me. This all transpired as a result of founding members Darvin Jones and [...]
Stray Kites are hands down the cutest duo in music. Whilst on first listen their lo-fi acoustic-driven tracks can appear harsh and slightly grating; with further listens the lyrics begin to speak for themselves and the bond between Junior Roseboro and Max Detrich becomes ever prominent. With this, their first official music video, for Talking Plaster Walls pt.3 taken from sophomore album Mieux , they show just how far they've come in the short time they've been around. Echoing the youthful spirit and sultry yet optimistic feeling of [...]
The sound is a little muddy, but Kite has a really cool and unique lighting setup that's worth checking out. And the song is great, too!
Way back in February I wrote an Introducing piece on London quartet Kites after being impressed by their fantastically addictive synth-pop 80s sound. It's with great pleasure, then, that an email arrived in my inbox today pronouncing their first official single Brother will be released 24th October. Unfortunately,as yet, I can't share that particular song with you but I can give you a taster of what to expect with the B Side Art Tastes Better Blind . If you've heard any of their music already you will be unsurprised to learn that this song is [...]
Unsigned London band Kites is made up by Richard Baldwin, Jasper Perkins, Jack Newton, and fronted by Matthew Phillips. Kites is a seeming 2011 lovechild tribute to New Order and Talking Head. If that doesn't work for you, maybe a British version of early The Killers would be a fitting comp. Nevertheless, I think the 802s synthpop influences are pretty apparent. I love early Killers and appropriately, I'm getting a lot of the same feelings as a I listened to the Kites's EP. The 802s electro influences are a wee bit more evident than anything on Hot [...]
This record is a functional and pragmatic alternative to the synth-pop bands of yesteryear for those who just can't get enough of that long gone genre of music. If there's a heaven, and if John Hughes is up there still making movies, the earth-bound dance pop group Kites with Lights - a one-man band that is current Athens, Georgia resident Jonah Cordy -would be an ideal candidate to score Hughes' ethereal soundtracks. Cordy's first full-length album, Cosmonauts, is a clear throwback to the airy, dream-like sound explored by '80s synth pop entities such as New Order. Cordy's voice even [...]
Iron and Wine - Belated Promise Ring They lay, heads next to each other, feet apart, on the grimy pavement of the parking lot atop the hill. A dormant crane's neck points straight up into the sky nearby. It's dark. They pass the taut line to a kite which sails high above them, invisible beyond the gray night clouds, back and forth. The string vibrates in the wind, whistling. They share a cigarette she had rolled, its embers crisscrossing the string during the switches. I wonder if she likes me as much as I [...]

Austin's Boy + Kite recently released their debut album Go Fly and it's a strong collection of songs about connections made and lost, driven by guitar and dual-vocals.
Skies Fell , fresh from headlining King Tut's on Saturday, release their new single The Kite this week. Good wee single this. The Kite is a big, sweeping, epic sounding number, with a great we sing along ending. B-side Stolen Lung is a darker, more low key affair, which actually floats my boat a bit more than the A-side does. Both good songs though, and worth a purchase. The Kite is available to download from iTunes .

'Cosmonauts' is the new track from Georgia based Kites With Lights . Perfect nu-new wave. Rich layered synths, crisp guitars and irresistible beats that take control of your feet and force them to move. Like Metronomy it is perfect nu-new wave, but with something very cool and 602s mod about the vibe and feel of the track.

The Sanfernando Sound reMixes Kites

electronic rumors
electronic rumorsThe Sanfernando Sound is back on the mix, this time turning his attention to London Indie band Kites . keeping up his trend of post-EBM-ish power Electro tracks this mix keeps it momentum going with deep digital bass and ominous chords. while not strictly dark, the track is pretty upbeat, there is a moody undercurrent which, when coupled with Matthew Phillips almost Gothy vocals, makes for a sound that wouldn’t have been out of place on a late ‘80’s New Beat compilation alongside Skinny Puppy and The Neon Judgement. Wrap that up in some contemporary ElectroPop/Dreamwave [...]

The Noise CollectiveI’ve been enjoying The Sanfernando Sound’s SIRENS remix and just wondering what he’s been up to for the last couple of months. We share a propensity for dark pop, and The Sanfernando Sound, AKA Jason Sieu Persad, always arrives with something soaked in apprehension, with the suspense of an old noir film. The remixes have [...]
