Moody Melodies and harmony-drenched dreams: States is the evocative debut album from Melbourne five-piece The Paper Kites. Following on from the band's Woodland and Young North EPs, across 13 tracks Sam Bentley (lead xox, guitar, harmonica), Christina Lacy (lead vox, guitar, keys, mandolin), David Powys (vox, guitar, banjo, lap steel), Josh Bentley (drums, percussion) and Sam Rasmussen (bass, synths) go on a journey of delicate, folk inspired landscapes, worlds rich with lyrics and raw sonic beauty.
