The Paper Kites

Without Your Love

The Paper Kites在《At the Roadhouse》中建构了一座声音公路旅馆，将蓝调根基与迷幻民谣织成深夜独行者的叙事诗。整张专辑于墨尔本郊外真实公路旅馆内完成同期录音，斑驳墙面渗出的烟熏感浸透了《Marietta》里口琴与滑棒吉他的对话，《Till the Flame Turns Blue》则用松散鼓点唤醒酒馆木地板的震颤。乐队刻意保留环境底噪与即兴段落碰撞的毛边质感，仿佛吧台残留的威士忌酒渍，将根源摇滚的粗粝与合成器迷雾捏合成潮湿的听觉蒙太奇。当人声在《Green Valleys》中化作旷野回响时，你会确信这场发生在凌晨三点的声响实验，就是公路尽头最接近永恒的那盏霓虹灯。

At the Roadhouse

The Sweet Sound of You

Melbourne folksters The Paper Kites are back with album number two, Twelvefour, which is due out in August, and the five-piece have previewed some new tunes in a new trailer video.

The Paper Kites’ Twelvefour trailer (below) offers an insight into the making of the album, which frontman Sam Bentley says is based around a certain time of day.

“The album is a concept record, based around a theory that an artist’s creative peak is between the hours of midnight and 4am,” Bentley says. “That idea turned into the heart of the project, so every night I’d sit down when the clock ticked over to midnight and just start writing.

“I got to the end and thought, ‘I’m never doing that again.’ It was wild to write until you are so tired that nothing sounded too over-worked – songs didn’t feel restricted by a commonly analytical brain. This record is the sound of five people trying to make something they’re proud of, and we really are.”

The Paper Kites worked with Grammy-nominated producer Phil Ek (Father John Misty, Manchester Orchestra, Fleet Foxes, The Shins) on Twelvefour, recording the album’s 10 tracks in Seattle earlier this year.

Twelvefour is set for release on 28th August, and will be the follow-up to The Paper Kites’ debut album, States. Twelvefour pre-orders come with an instant download of the album’s first single, Electric Indigo.
