From folk to pop: an ever-evolving sound

As with many artists these days, it's difficult to define the genre of The Paper Kites. Each an expression of their current interests and creative focus, their albums are inspired by other fields like art or cinema and reflect sounds that may be spare and acoustic or shimmering with rock- and pop-inspired music. Always deep and dreamy in some way, The Paper Kites' songs look right into the human soul; at a live performance you'll feel a rare, deep sense of emotion and connection. Formed as a duo in Melbourne in 2009, founders Sam Bentley and Christina Lacy quickly enlisted the support of school friends to create a five-piece band that released 'Bloom', their folk-inspired debut single, in 2010. A small amount of attention followed, and since then the band has been growing organically, reaching audiences in Europe and North America and embarking on a large world tour in 2019. Their eternal, international appeal and ability to keep adjusting their sound - only just enough to keep their audiences interested, while still sounding somehow familiar - means that tickets to The Paper Kites are in demand across the globe.

Enjoy a magical concert by The Paper Kites

Following on from the release of the first full album by The Paper Kites (2013's 'States'), the group created a concept album, 'twelvefour', which was written entirely from midnight to four o'clock in the morning in 2015 recording sessions. 2018 saw an unprecedented two albums: 'On The Train Ride Home' and 'On The Corner Where You Live', The Paper Kites' most daring experiment with sound yet. Each in a completely different style (one folk, one 80s dream pop), the albums used artwork and music to explore the imaginary lives of strangers living in a big city, creating an experience that is at once isolating and deeply personal. On tour, The Paper Kites have supported bands from Bombay Bicycle Club to City and Colour, and appeal in their complex simplicity and power as a force for change to fans of artists like Benjamin Francis Leftwich and The Oh Hellos.
