The Paper Kites sophomore effort Twelvefour was recorded in Seattle with producer Phil Elk (The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses). The title is reference to the rather unique concept for the album; all songs were written between the hours of midnight and 4am. The record sounds and feels late night, in a good way. Part 70’s dreamy pop, part alt-country, twelvefour is an album sitting happily in a slightly sleepy comfort zone, and it’s a wonderful place to be.
Propelled by sparse yet driving drums and bass, the male/female vocals are a feature, and work great together. Electric guitar peppers the songs with melodic alt-country licks, reminiscent of some of Ryan Adams best moments with The Cardinals. Released late in the year, this is an album that will no doubt be enjoyed as the background to many a summer gathering. Yet those who take the time to immerse themselves in the record will be justly rewarded, revealing great songs full of subtle intricacies and beauty.
