SINGLE REVIEW: Desert Kites - Holiday
Desert Kites' latest single, 'Holiday', perfectly captures the whimsical joy of taking an impromptu break from the grind. It's a delightful summer anthem that celebrates the freedom and fun of a stolen holiday, bringing a sense of carefree abandon.
The track kicks off with an upbeat tempo, centred around a killer guitar riff that sets the tone. The vocals are relaxed and laid back, delivering a perfect 90s indie nostalgia. It's the kind of song that would have comfortably slotted into the Indie Chart on an ITV Chart Show back in the day.
The captivating layered vocals blend beautifully with the stunning guitar chime, creating a polished yet authentic sound. The pounding drum beat underpins the track, adding a sense of urgency that contrasts nicely with its overall laid-back vibe. There's a certain grandeur reminiscent of the Foo Fighters, mixed with the dreamy jangle pop of Teenage Fanclub and a dash of Belle and Sebastian's twee pop innocence.
'Holiday' is a great soundtrack for a carefree summer, encouraging listeners to enjoy themselves even when they should probably be at their boring 9-to-5 job. It's an anthem for those moments when you just need to escape and soak up the sun, making it a perfect addition to any summer playlist.
