‘If You Go There, I Hope You Find It’, The Paper Kites’ new album out January 23, contains 10 tracks that mark a homecoming for the band. It was preceded by the single ‘Shake Off the Rain’

Most of the album was written on a friend’s farm in Melbourne’s Yarra Valley, surrounded by large fields and fences with picturesque views of the mountains in the distance. “I didn’t have a place to write, so a friend of ours let me use a room on his farm, and that’s where the album took shape,” explains Sam.

The entire album is pervaded by a sense of hope and healing, nostalgia, and universal lyrics that run through all the music. The single ‘When The Lavender Blooms’ exemplifies this feeling, musically accompanied by a 90s-sounding arpeggiated guitar, to which tambourine and bongos have been added. The blues of ‘Shake Off The Rain’ serves as the anchor of the project, a rain-soaked but hopeful ballad with an infectious rhythm.

This is pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
