Kite - Don't take the light away / Remember me - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Since founding Swedish synthpop duo Kite in 2008, singer Nicklas Stenemo and keyboardist Christian Hutchinson Berg's brooding fusion of cinematic electronics and anthemic pop has steadily elevated into a spectacle of passion, atmosphere, and communion. Their debut double-A vinyl single for Dais Records, Don't take the light away / Remember me captures Kite at their most urgent, thrilling and apocalyptic.InchDon't take the light awayInch is a song about Inchthe war between energies,Inch with singer Stenemo's wounded croon leading a rising tide of stabbing strings, pulsing percussion, and looming bass orchestrated by keyboardist Hutchinson Berg, surging to a mass-chanted chorus both desperate and triumphant (Inchdance, let them dance into me / people versus people can't see / hands should be holding handsInch). InchRemember meInch was written following the band's 2017 US tour, capturing the intense feelings of burnout and exhaustion. InchRemember me, Won't you remember me, Promise you'll remember me.InchWords only tell half of the story; smoke spills across the stage, and the melodies become a battle cry. Our worst fears eventually boil over, turning into hope and resilience. Like the best of Kite's music, InchDon't take the light awayInch and InchRemember meInch fuse theater and catharsis into anthems of universal yearning, born of Inchthe struggle to keep a flickering candle lit in a very dark space.Inch

Swedish synth-pop phenomenon Kite's second 7 inch since signing with Dais in 2023 finds the duo of Nicklas Stenemo and Christian Hutchinson Berg swinging for new heights of romantic desolation and baroque grandeur. They describe the A Side, InchLosing,Inch as a Inchsix-minute empty call for emotional response.Inch Stately piano and anguished voice reverberate in a vaulted hall, before gradually building into a widescreen anthem of synths, drums, and soaring vocals decrying the steady deadening of life and love InchIt's deadly quiet in your old heart / Are you there? / I see dark skies on the rise / And daylight shows no remorse / And I realize it is my life / But It's losing all meaning.Inch Swedish dark music icons Anna von Hausswolff and Henric de la Cour join the chorus as the song cascades towards an ominous horizon.The B Side, InchGlassy Eyes,Inch showcases Kite's mastery of somber, sweeping balladry. Hushed church organ elevates and anchors Stenemo's devastated confessional, swaying between resilience and defeat. The band describes the song as a reckoning with Inchthe privileged and existential anxiety of drifting through life dispassionately,Inch contrasted with Inchthe yearning to connect profoundly with others and a desire for experiences that stir the soul before facing one's final moments.Inch Like a hymn, the emotion thickens as it deepens, approaching both darkness and divinity InchDeep as I go, nothing to find / Oh catatonia, I won't cry / Nothing can grow, everything dies / Behind my glassy eyes.Inch
