Claude says:Melbourne folk duo Sam Bentley and Christina Lacy turned their high school songwriting sessions into The Paper Kites, eventually expanding to a five-piece whose homemade single "Bloom" quietly spread through word of mouth in 2010. This debut EP is delicate, front-porch indie folk with fingerpicked guitars and close harmonies — the kind of sound that feels like it was recorded in a cabin somewhere. He's only circled back a handful of times since 2018, mostly to "Bloom" and "Featherstone," never quite letting it settle in.
