Denmark's Death By Kite have the unique ability to exude all the confidence of influences Placebo, Mew, and Sonic Youth, whilst simultaneously enjoying a degree of forgiveness afforded by their youthful energy and honest approach. The end result is a record that feels at once familiar and novel, both responses enhanced by their diacritically juxtaposed counterparts. There's a strangely nostalgic quality to the music, fashioned from the band's influences and the lo-fi production, that also adds yet another touch of authority to Death By Kite's self-titled effort. If you've been looking for a record drenched in delayed guitars and vocals reminiscent of Brian Molkos' delivery, that concurrently radiates a record overlooked in the late 90s and an album combining the dirtier approaches of contemporary bands like Figurines with the wonderfully dark musings of Joy Division... look little further. The Swedish part of me hates to admit it, but these Danes really have done well.

At a cursory glance, Death By Kite seems an awful lot like countrymates Figurines. A hyperactive, lock-step rhythm section; frenetic, jangly guitars; a squeaky, androgynous frontman. That is until the layers of delay start overlapping, turning the guitars into a shimmering beast and then you realize that, hey - those lyrics are quite a bit darker than anything you've heard from those other Danes. "Your love is a scar on my glass marble-eyes / It forces me to always keep you in sight / I cut myself quite severely / Blood and flesh filled the city I live in" and so on. And that's tame compared to some of the other suicidal musings on the record. Death By Kite puts noise catharsis to good use as therapy. Get it out, feel better.
