Post Description

Following two successful EPs, Melbourne’s The Paper Kites have stayed very true to their original style on States. They’ve also managed to create a full-length album that is both sophisticated and completely engaging.

Indie-folk has a tendency to become monotonous when it’s the only genre on a record – but the Paper Kites haven’t let this happen. Each song is distinctly separate from the one before.
The delicate finger-picked indie-folk sound of EPs Woodland and Young North is still apparent, but it’s been well and truly expanded. More electric sounds are introduced, as well as some experimentation with keys and synths.

States is an admirable debut album. The Paper Kites have come a long way since their EPs, yet managed to keep the unique style that makes their music such a joy to listen to.
