me and my kites

The new and first single is called 'The Band' the bands name is Me and My Kites. Just so there's no confusion from the get go you'll understand.
Me and My Kites are a new arrival in the psychedelic acid folk world and a convincing sound they make too. The visions of Syd Barret and Kevin Ayers approach to song writing lies at the heart of these Swedish dreamers and they play it with great skill and imagination. Check out their new albums Soundcloud tracks here and you'll understand exactly what we mean.

The new single on Fruits De Mer's drop of August 7" vinyl we're featuring this week is a good example of how good this folk combo are. Me and My Kites have produced a version of a UK lost classic of 1971 originally released by progressive folk rock band 'Fuscia', and to pay homage to one of their inspirations the B side is dedicated to Kevin Ayers called ''Like A Dream Back Then'' (see Soundcloud tracks).
Here's a clip of 'The Band' with guest singer Tony Durant the original lead singer with Fuscia.
