PO: Kite Party - "Come On Wandering"


Recommended Posts

Kite Party's new record, Come On Wandering, is an album born from the transplant experience. Started in 2007 in Tamaqua, PA, Kite Party have resided in Philadelphia for the past six years through lineup changes and all that 18-24 year old stuff one goes through. With a sound that splits the difference between a youth spent listening to NOFX and Rancid and an early adulthood spent listening to talk radio, Kite Party write layered, atmospheric, driving songs about feeling off with most things most of the time. Songs like Bell, Supervillain, and Planet Away are propelled forward by a three-guitar attack while tracks like Half-Life and Nest rely on a tight rhythm section and ephemeral keyboard sounds. Lyrical topics range from losing friends to drug abuse to the banality of doing laundry and back again.

Recommended for fans of The National who still like to skateboard, couples who watch the Royal Tenenbaums and the Fugazi documentary on the same date night, and anyone who wishes that maybe The Replacements had kind of been a shoegaze band.

I'm still trying to really "get" into the first album. It's nice and all, but it just does not grab me as much as I would want it to. Still going to check out the stream though.

I had the opposite experience. I fell in love with it instantly an still listen to it regularly. I'd say it's actually one of my favorite albums.

With that said, I'm eagerly anticipating this.

I've been listening to this record for the past three days straight. Can't recommend it enough.

 

I love this record.  A really nice progression from 'Baseball Season'.  This has been tag teamed with Three Man Cannon's 'Pretty Many People' constantly.
