Kyte

You Should Know


Eureka! For those of you who cherish the reverb-driven mathy-ness of bands like Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, and Caspian, but have always been curious about what it would sound like if vocals were thrown into the mix, I've surely got a band for you. Hailing from Leicestershire, UK, Kyte embodies the same ambient tendencies of the aforementioned bands while incorporating swirling vocals and subtle touches of electronica... it sounds sort of like Explosions In The Sky met The Postal Service for a night of heavy drinking and ended up conceiving a lovechild. Kyte's debut self-titled mini album is 40 minutes of ethereal majesty. The opening and perhaps most noteworthy track is "Planet," a 7-minute epic that builds on a reverb-heavy guitar riff laid on top of gentle synthesizer until ghostly lead vocals echo hauntingly into the mix. While the band borrows from several familiar soundscapes for sure, they've managed to meld those different elements into something that sounds fresh. Impressive new band. -- Capt. Obvious
