The Brother Kite



Its been a week of unfinished posts for me, I've not really felt like posting on anything but today's band got me off my ass. The Brother Kite hail from Providence, RI and make some of the best shoegaze inflected rock you're likely to find anywhere in the western hemisphere. Their new album, Waiting for the Time to be Right came out today on Claire Records. The album itself is solid from start to finish and should make some top ten lists at the end of the year for sure. If this record is not it only proves that most music critics suck in the first place. The sound of the album itself is very much like taking an Explosions in the Sky album and mixing in some Beach Boys. I also hear some strains of another great North East band, The Swirlies. The band's sound works really well, its certainly got me giddy and tingly all over. The band's myspace can be found here, so join up as a friend. Their website has some additional samples of songs off the new album as well as some video. Head over here to order the new album.
