LCM #SongOfTheDay: Give Me Your Fire, Give Me Your Rain - The Paper KItes

With an excellent new album ‘On The Corner Where You Live’ released on Friday via Nettwerk Records, our featured artists today are Melbourne based band The Paper Kites. We have been big fans for a while, so we are so pleased to enjoy listening this latest chapter in the band’s great history.

If you would like to see the band live they are currently on tour with their London date on February 19th at Dingwalls.

The new album is the second part of two part series. The first was their wonderful ‘On The Train Ride Home’. Produced by Tom Iansek & frontman Sam Bentley, the band sustains their atmospheric midnight mood. A mostly acoustic collection, Bentley croons an album for the escapists, the street wanderers, the lovers and the lonely. The sincerity and brevity of the songs leave behind a space between each track that is personal and thought-provoking, simple stories, relatable and poetic, hanging in the air like smoke plumes. With minimal instrumentation, the arrangements remain sympathetic, rich and honest. Late night longings both romantic and heartbreaking, robust with hope, The Paper Kites deliver their most beautiful music to date. For the album’s artwork the band collaborated with Los Angeles film-noir artist Gina Higgins.

For the latest album recorded in Connecticut the band have been working with American producer Peter Katis (Interpol, The National).
