The Paper Kites Join Nettwerk Music Group
With their debut EP Woodland and follow-up EP Young North, Australian indie-folk outfit The Paper Kites melds earthy instrumentals to create a perfect backdrop for the band's harmonies. The standout tracks from Woodland - "Bloom" and "Featherstone" (as prominently featured in the season 8 finale of Grey's Anatomy) - have generated over 5 million combined YouTube views. "Up until recently we never expected much of a response (from our recordings) outside of Melbourne, let alone the other side of the world, so when we were approached by Nettwerk, we were certainly surprised!" says bandmember Sam Rasmussen. "We are currently plotting out the next year and beyond. We look forward to sharing the album with the world and couldn't be happier about our new partnership with Nettwerk." Sharing the same enthusiasm, Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk Music Group, continues, "I hum their music constantly, so happy to have a part in spreading this inspiring music." The band began with Sam Bentley and Christina Lacy playing local cafes in their hometown of Melbourne, Australia. When invited to play a local festival, they decided it was time to expand by adding David Powys, Sam Rasmussen and cousin Josh Bentley. "Sam and I worked together in a warehouse, Josh was my cousin and I liked his drumming…we liked David because he could sing and were big fans of his other band. It was never really an official 'let's start a band' conversation, we just kind of fell into it," says Bentley. The Paper Kites is the latest addition to Nettwerk's expanding label roster, which includes artists like Family Of The Year, BOY, Passenger, Ladytron, Savoir Adore, Peter Murphy, Angus & Julia Stone, William Fitzsimmons and Admiral Fallow, as well as catalogue artists like Old Crow Medicine Show, The Weepies, The Submarines and fun. In the coming weeks, stay tuned for information regarding The Paper Kites and their forthcoming debut studio album. www.ThePaperKites.com.au | www.facebook.com/ThePaperKitesBand www.twitter.com/ThePaperKites
