Chicago four-piece Kittyhawk play the sort of wry, dryly sweet pop songs that call to mind early 2000s bands such as Rainer Maria and The Anniversary. Trading bass guitar for a Farfiza organ, the band is anchored by the charming l harmonies of singer Kate Grube, whose narrative lyrics push their songs forward, inviting listeners to lean in a little closer. After the release of several split releases and a self-titled EP, the band is ready to release their debut full-length Hello, Again on Count Your Lucky Stars Records on October 14, 2014 (full tracklisting & art below). Pre-order is now available via the Count Your Lucky Stars online store.
Noisey premiered a new track from the record today, "Welcome Home", saying "The Chicago band is such a wonderful break from the proliferation of the sad emo boy’s club. Kate Grube’s earnest vocal work recalls bands like Rainer Maria, the Anniversary, and the Rocking Horse Winner. But that’s not to say Kittyhawk is another band simply regurgitating the music of scenes past. The band has its own distinct identity that sometimes punches you up hard and other times lulls you gently down. Really, we need more bands like this."
Kittyhawk will embark on a short run of tour dates this fall, including dates with Count Your Lucky Stars alum Into It. Over It. and Foxing as well as Nai Harvest (all tour dates below).
