The Best Songs Of 2011 (76 - 100) Making the Best Albums list was relatively easy compared to nailing down the 100 best songs of 2011. The level of incredible music to surface this year is unbelievable. What's more difficult is trying to create some sort of order when laying these songs out, what makes [...]
Listen to this tune from Kites With Lights hailing from Athens, GA. It's like a synth EXPLOSION.....but a good one. This also marks the dailybeatz premiere of the soundcloud HTML5 player.
Kites With Lights was first featured on KKS as part of our August 2011 play list, because their track 'Cosmonauts' was all kinds of amazing. KWL is back and want to share 'Night Colours' with you. Dream pop with a dark synthy edge, a perfect sonic representation of driving though the inky night skies, hidden shadows, and shining lights that pop through the dark night.

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 [...]
'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.

I owe an apology to everyone for slacking last week and not having a playlist up. I'm now part of the Listen Before You Buy family doing "New Music" posts and this is my first week involved with them it's something I'm excited about. Having never cared about editing or formatting and only about getting [...]
Once again, Drake and I are up-to-date... for the time being. On a related note, I was really impressed with Pepper Rabbit at CMJ last year and I'm a big fan of their new album too. -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 08.09.11 Ahh... the dog days of summer. The weather is great... the releases, not as much. Making the most noise is Jay-Z + Kanye West interpreting Game of Thrones (ok, not really - but someone else was thinking the [...]

The weather is great... the releases, not as much. Making the most noise is Jay-Z + Kanye West interpreting Game of Thrones (ok, not really), but we're most interested in the sophomore release from Pepper Rabbit and a second EP from Worcester's Dom. Also releasing new albums this week are Army Navy, The Irrepressible, The New Mastersounds, Ursula 1000, The Birthday Massacre, Roye da 5'9" and comedy albums from The State's Michael Ian Black and WTF podcast's Marc Maron.

The second week of August is a fairly thin one for the weekly Best New Releases when compared to previous weeks so far this summer , but the good news is that because there are fewer releases, it just puts more of a spotlight on the new albums that are included in today's post mix.

Blending synth pop sonics with dream pop ideals, Kites With Lights melds 80's New Wave with 90's shoegaze using 21st century technology to create songs with a clean & clear aesthetic: Electro Pop with a purpose. A focused extension of 2009's The Weight of Your Heart EP , the modern construct of Cosmonauts finds a place where dream pop becomes the soundtrack for a blissed out dance floor, a rainy introspective day at home or a late night drive with heads bopping to the beat. Soar to the stratosphere of your ear [...]

By Maxwell Silver The Fresh Tracks mixtape series has really exploded since we fired up the first installment last year.

Kites With Lights is back with the deliciously electro pop, 80s-influenced "Cosmonauts," the title track to his newest album, out August 9 via 24 Hour Service Station . Pre-orders and streaming are currently available on Bandcamp . This is the type of sound I want to party to. Not too cheesy, but retro enough to smirk a little while getting down.

There are certain bands and albums that only fit in a certain environment. You wouldn't choose Nine Inch Nails as beach music or progressive rock for karaoke (your friends will get annoyed if it takes 15 minutes for their turn). These types of music work for a specific time or place, but if you take them outside their comfort zone, the results are a little skewed. This is the case for Kites With Lights on their debut EP, The Weight Of Your Heart. To put it simply, this album is made for the nightlife of [...]
I've never embedded a Soundcloud player before, so think of this as a test. And the song is well worth a listen... KITES WITH LIGHTS "Brand New"
