The Kite String Tangle – This Thing We Got

Posted on October 24, 2017 by Indietronica Staff

TKST

Time to start cruising with The Kite String Tangle‘s unusually upbeat new single, ‘This Thing We Got’.

It’s a song about the butterflies you feel when you first get with someone, cleverly represented by the rosy horn section (think Mark Ronson, Rudimental). Originally planned to be 30 b.p.m slower than it now is, the slower melody is sampled in the chorus as a “song within a song”.

Watch the live video below.

‘This Thing We Got’ can be found on The Kite String Tangle‘s self-titled debut album which is available everywhere now via Exist Recordings.

Sounds like: RÜFÜS, Dead Ceremony, M83, TDeL2, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, The Weeknd, Active Child, Mount Kimbie, Fever Ray, James Blake, Cloud Boat

The Kite String Tangle

Taking more of a contrasting RÜFÜS kind of vibe, singer/songwriter/producer The Kite String Tangle shares ‘The Prize’ featuring Rudimental’s vocalist, Bridgette Amofah.

Full of belated energy, this track explores the intense relationship between two falling lovers, but the question of what if? appears too late.

Expect the release of his debut self-titled album for 14 July on his own newly founded label, Exist Recordings.

Sounds like: RÜFÜS, Dead Ceremony, M83, TDeL2, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, The Weeknd, Active Child, Mount Kimbie, Fever Ray, James Blake, Cloud Boat

BROADHURST

A beautiful new piece of music from Australian artist, BROADHURST (aka Nick Broadhurst).

Keeping his music stunning, yet simple, with falsetto vocals and gentle piano, the video (which has been directed by James Chappell) is equally as captivating.

The Kite String Tangle – Illuminate

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

TKSTX

We wrote about The Kite String Tangle back in 2014 when he released the video for ‘Given The Chance‘.

Now it’s 2015, and TKST returns with ‘Illuminate’, in a collaboration alongside fellow Australian artist Dustin Tebbutt.

Imagine two angelic voices merging in complete harmony in a way that will create endless goosebumps over your body.

The video is just as gripping thanks to the emotional performance by Jasper Bagg; a man who is trying to escape an existing life.

Sounds like: M83, TDeL2, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, The Weeknd, Active Child, Mount Kimbie, Fever Ray, James Blake, Cloud Boat

Years & Years – King

Posted on January 19, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

Years & Years

We have a huge music crush on these three kings.

Years & Years is back with the video for ‘King’. It’s another song from the trio about the pain of love, but their first video with impressive dance moves (it was choreographed by Ryan Heffington, who also choreographed SIA‘s ‘Chandelier’)

It’s hard to work out how they do it, but with just one listen of ‘King’, we are already belting it out of the car window, the office, the gym, anywhere really…

Sounds like: Clean Bandit, Cloud Boat, Yes Cadets, Citizens!, How to Dress Well, Lxury, Bondax, SOHN, Flume, Phoenix, All We Are, Ellie Goulding, Jungle, Sam Smith

Years & Years – Desire

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Indietronica Staff

Years & Years – Desire

It may be getting colder outside, but the temperature has risen in the Indietronica office since the first play of new track ‘Desire’ by Years & Years.

The 90’s house-inspired track retains the distinctive claps we frequently hear from Years & Years, whilst taking on more of a modern, Clean Bandit vibe.

The boys have recently finished supporting SOHN and MØ and are due to support Clean Bandit and Sam Smith on their UK and European tours.

After the success of The Magician‘s ‘Sunlight’ which featured Olly on vocals, we believe that ‘Desire’ is the tune that will make Years & Years. It is out on 23 November.

Sounds like: Clean Bandit, Cloud Boat, Yes Cadets, Citizens!, How to Dress Well, Lxury, Bondax, SOHN, Flume, Phoenix, All We Are, Ellie Goulding, Jungle, Sam Smith

The Kite String Tangle – Given The Chance

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Indietronica Staff

TKST

Introducing The Kite String Tangle (TKST); the experimental solo project of alternative electronic artist and producer, Danny Harley (also the lead singer of electronic act Pigeon).

The TKST project was launched in May 2012 and has started making waves across the pond in Europe and the US.

‘Given The Chance’ starts off slightly melancholy as Harley attempts to persuade a girl to go out with him. The video follows the same theme, showing a brightly lit up girl in a dark world, as seen through Harley’s eyes.

Despite the ambient start, the beat of ‘Given the Chance’ soon picks up (in true Pigeon form) and also appears to feature a sample of ‘Ride on Time’ by Black Box, which is just awesome!

Sounds like: TDeL2, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, The Weeknd, Active Child, Mount Kimbie, Fever Ray, James Blake, Cloud Boat
