A band we like have some new songs on their MySpace - that's news right?

Hello. There is a band we liked called Kyte who we have mentioned before and who have been slowly and quietly working on some rather lovely music for the past few years. They are usually referred to as 'the British Sigur Ros' on account of their music being all dreamy and soft and wonderful. Now, that's not exactly an unfair comparison (because, like, Sigur Ros are all 'wow' and 'brillz' etc) but there's a lot more to Kyte than being the same as another band from the same continent but with a different accent.

There is a potential hit single in their latest music for a start. 'Fear From Death' is the closest thing to a pop song Kyte have ever recorded and made public, and not only because it raises the tempo above 'melancholy' and the aforementioned 'dreamy' lull their music usually tends to settle itself in. Sure, it sounds like they realised this themselves and thought 'oh crap, we really need something a little faster on the album' but there's no denying this huge pop song works - and hits every possible mark on the way there. Feel-good, inspiring and uplifting - yep, that'll do for us.

Oh, and then there's also 'The Smoke Saves Lives' and 'Like She Said'. Also amazing in the more tradition sense of the word 'Kyte'. All of this just makes us think how much of a shame it is that Kyte didn't have any of this ready for that big important BBC poll that women who make pop music seem to win with alarming regularity these days.

Anyway, words are irrelevant when there's listening to be done. Click here for some 'Kyte at MySpace' related greatness. Thanks and bye.

PS. All these wonderful new songs are from their upcoming, and certainly wonderful album, 'Dead Waves'.
