Last night, I had the immense pleasure of seeing Melbourne band, The Paper Kites, live. Introduced to me by a friend, The Paper Kites have quickly become my mellow go-to band. Their 6-track EP, Woodland, is a sweet and subtle melodic adventure great for late night listening and Sunday morning chill sessions.
