There’s not much better than a sad yet upbeat indie love song to cry and sing my heart out to. 4-piece rock and roll outfit from Newcastle, KITES are set to release their third single on June 19th, ‘Pretend’.
Heart aching lyrics sung with silvery emotion-filled vocals, crying “I don’t believe in myself somehow”, this moving single is gripping and entrancing.
Somehow gloomy but groovy; touching themes with a rhythmic melody, tuneful progressions and a catchy beat. It’s the kind of song you want to sing along to at the top of your voice, I can only imagine how good this must be live! With inspirations such as The Verve and Travis, they have managed to capture the essence of 90’s Britpop with a modern take, I’m really looking forward to hearing more from KITES in the future.
Currently working on their new EP, KITES are hoping to be releasing more music later this year.
