Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Red Kite's self-titled album is like a refreshing cup of tea on a rainy day. It's quintessentially British, with a touch of quirkiness that sets it apart from the rest.
From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you're transported to a whimsical world where anything is possible. The band's unique blend of indie pop and folk influences creates a sound that is both familiar and yet entirely new.
Frontman Charlie's vocals are like a warm hug, wrapping you up in their comforting embrace. The lyrics are clever and witty, with a hint of melancholy that tugs at your heartstrings.
The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with each instrument adding its own unique flavour to the mix. The jangly guitars, the thumping drums, and the soaring violin all come together to create a sonic landscape that is as vibrant as it is beautiful.
Standout tracks include the infectious "Birds of Prey" with its catchy chorus and driving rhythm, and the hauntingly beautiful "Red Kite" which showcases the band's softer side.
Overall, Red Kite's debut album is a triumph. It's a joyous celebration of all things British, with a healthy dose of whimsy thrown in for good measure. So grab yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let Red Kite take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!

About the artist
Red Kite
RED KITE: The Only Band You'll Ever Need to Get You Through a Midlife Crisis Hailing from the streets of London, RED KITE is the brainchild of enigmatic frontman and part-time sandwich enthusiast, Martin Crane. With a sound that effortlessly blends indie rock melodies with the emotional depth of a breakup text, this band has been making waves in the music scene since their inception in 2016. What sets RED KITE apart from their contemporaries is their raw, unapologetic approach to songwriting. From heart-wrenching ballads about lost love to anthems of rebellion against the mundane, every song feels like a punch in the gut - in the best possible way, of course. But it's not just their music that makes RED KITE stand out. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with Crane's erratic dance moves and guitarist Sarah Jackson's impressive collection of vintage hats keeping audiences on their toes from start to finish. Throw in a drummer who has a striking resemblance to your weird uncle who never grew out of his punk phase, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable night. With a string of critically acclaimed albums under their belt and a dedicated fanbase that stretches from Peckham to Poughkeepsie, RED KITE shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. So whether you're going through a midlife crisis or just fancy a bloody good time, this is the band you need in your life. Trust us, you won't regret it.
