Indie-rock four-piece Chasing Kites unveil energetic new single ‘Late Night’
Following up on the May release of ‘Two Towns’, Bristol-based indie-rock four-piece Chasing Kites are pleased to unveil their upcoming single ‘Late Night’, due for release September 22nd, 2023.
Starting life in 2016 as the solo project of vocalist Matt Donnelly, Chasing Kites arrived at their full and final lineup in June of 2022, thanks to a series of ‘Band Members Wanted’ advertisements and the miracles of social media. The band have since gone on to be chosen as BBC Bristol’s ‘Big New Sound’ twice, with singles ‘Slide’ and ‘Two Towns’ both championed by the likes of Ones To Watch.
With echoes of Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Verve and The 1975, the band intertwine dynamic hooks, 80s synth textures and vivid narratives, capturing reflections on the stories of Donnelly’s youth.
Their upcoming single Late Night, recorded with Sam Winfield (Amber Run, Bring Me The Horizon) at Studio 91, depicts the complexities of night-life romance and the struggles for mutual admiration. Using distorted guitars and fading rhythm to give the track a little more bite, the duality of darkness and energy that’s found in the song keeps your attention closely captured within the band’s own sea of sounds.
Discussing the inspirations behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Matt Donnelly explains,
“Late Night is a conversational depiction of a night out in which two characters attempt to confirm that their romantic interest in one another is reciprocated.”
