KYTE - PLANET "PLANET is one of the most majestic and magical sounding singles to emerge for quite some time" |

Planet / Secular Ventures (Maps Mix)
SONIC CATHEDRAL
You can sense when a band are truly special sometimes, especially when their debut single manages to floor you on first listen, like is the case with PLANET from post-rockers Kyte.
An epic, majestic take on swooning post-rock, PLANET is seven minutes of pure sonic bliss; subdued and beautiful in places, searching and angst-ridden in others. Equal parts Doves, Slint, Mogwai and Sigur Ros, Kyte weave spidery guitar lines across a landscape of militaristic drum patters and gorgeous piano chords. Singer Tom projects a half whispered croon whilst the rest of the band deliver waltz like post-rock beauty, stealing your hearts in the process.
PLANET is one of the most majestic and magical sounding singles to emerge for quite some time, stirring the same delirious feelings you got from hearing bands like Mogwai or Sigur Ros for the very first time all those years back. It's perhaps time to bookmark Kyte as a new favourite band, and if they have more material as gorgeous as this waiting in the wings the world will surely be a better place for it.
