Kite Club – 'Goodtime Tea Show'

Kite Club – ‘La La Melode’ (mp3)

Kite Club – ‘Very Necessary’ (mp3)

You may recall Kite Club from Matt’s post a few months ago. Certain to say, that penchant for large scale production hasn’t been lost in the proceedings. Enter Goodtime Tea Show.

‘La La Melode’ summons your attention as soon as that wad of synth-spiritualism drops. Those galloping beats in the intro reminds me of watching Gypsy & The Cat in the giant ampitheatre at Splendour, and I’m pretty sure this tune would echo out just as magically given the same settings. The melody here sits like an off-kilter folk hymnal and holds up the arrangement of the song really well, while the same goes for the falsetto intervention in ‘Very Necessary’. The latter does creep into MGMT territory, but is crammed with a myriad of instrumentals (check out that horn section!) to pique your interest for long enough. With Passion Pit/Naked & Famous camps moving into the commercial radio league, I can definitely see this dude pleasing the masses. Futcher’s showed great flair and craftmanship here and I’ll be surprised if the summer festivals don’t poach him to the bill soon. Feel good vibes all ‘round.
