The Paper Kites are an indie folk-rock band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their soulful melodies and reflective lyrics. Formed in 2010, the band consists of members Sam Bentley, Christina Lacy, David Powys, Josh Bentley, and Sam Rasmussen. They initially gained attention through their EP "Woodland," but it was their 2013 debut album, "States," that truly cemented their position in the indie music scene.
Over the years, The Paper Kites have crafted a distinct sound that weaves together the tenderness of indie folk with the depth of Americana and the introspectiveness of alt-rock. Their music has a cinematic quality, evident in releases like "On the Corner Where You Live" and "On the Train Ride Home," both from 2018. The band's ability to pair poignant storytelling with atmospheric instrumentals is further showcased in their more recent works, including "Roses" (2021), an album featuring a series of collaborations with female vocalists. Defining themselves with a commitment to thoughtful songwriting and haunting harmonies, The Paper Kites continue to captivate listeners around the globe, evolving with each release while maintaining the essence of their poetic, heartfelt beginnings.
