Claude says:The Paper Kites are a Melbourne indie-folk band who broke through in 2010 with "Bloom," a quiet single that spread by word of mouth until it went platinum. Young North, their debut full-length from 2012, has the same fingerpicked warmth and harmonized restraint — gentle, patient folk-pop built on acoustic guitars and Sam Bentley's soft-edged voice. You ignored a few stray plays in 2022, then circled back in spring 2024, twelve years after release, and spent that fall returning to "Paint."
