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 sweet electro-pop.

They liken their sound to Ladyhawke, Azure Ray & Mu. I think they’re more or less on the mark. To their list I’d also add similarities to Ping Pong Bitches, Electrocute & Tracy + the Plastics. Needless to say they’re in good company & ready to strike a fire.

Kite In The Air have released their second ep earlier this month, ‘Magic Marker’. It is a true gem, in that it is a beautiful piece of work, but also it is available free via the band’s website, powered by my new favorite distribution platform for bands: Bandcamp. Oh, not to mention their self-titled EP, that’s free too. Amazzzze.

Here’s some collected highlights of EPs one & two:

Magic Marker really is totally addictive. I'll add in a little bit of additional UK-based kindling to the growing fire.
Many thanks
