khoci The song "Losing," a sublime continuation of the poignant "Glassy Eyes" and crafted in collaboration with Henric de la Cour and Anna von Hausswolff, epitomizes sheer perfection. In this piece, their voices intertwine like fine silk threads, interlacing in a delicate dance on distinct yet converging planes. They enhance and contrast each other, forging a symphony of sounds that coalesce into an absolute musical masterpiece. Favorite track: Losing (feat. Anna von Hausswolff & Henric de la Cour).

Are you there It’s deadly quiet in your old heart, are you there Am I delighting your life A sense of home in the dark Well it’s yours, but It’s losing all meaning Are you there I can’t describe the desolation and hunger for real life I’ve got pictures from old times In black and white as we always were They are yours But they’re losing all meaning Are you there It’s deadly quiet in your old heart, are you there I see dark skies on the rise And daylight shows no remorse And I realize, it is my life But It’s losing all meaning My heart’s gone away This spirit is an old tragedy I’m calling out for something to hold Im tired and lost in my soul If only I could love anything Im trying but I’m fumberling I’m telling you my…

Glassy Eyes 02:53
Deep as I go, nothing to find Oh catatonia, I won’t cry Nothing can grow, everything dies Behind my glassy eyes Please cut my heart out Its was worn out years ago Just like my dress, torn and boring Monday morning, here we go But I don’t cry Deep as I go, nothing to find Oh catatonia, I won’t cry Nothing can grow, everything dies Behind my glassy eyes

about

International pre-orders at: found.ee/LosingGlassyEyes

Swedish synth-pop phenomenon Kite’s second 7 inch since signing with Dais in 2023 finds the duo of Nicklas Stenemo and Christian Hutchinson Berg swinging for new heights of romantic desolation and baroque grandeur. They describe the A Side, "Losing," as a "six-minute empty call for emotional response." Stately piano and anguished voice reverberate in a vaulted hall, before gradually building into a widescreen anthem of synths, drums, and soaring vocals decrying the steady deadening of life and love: "It’s deadly quiet in your old heart / Are you there? / I see dark skies on the rise / And daylight shows no remorse / And I realize it is my life / But It’s losing all meaning." Swedish dark music icons Anna von Hausswolff and Henric de la Cour join the chorus as the song cascades towards an ominous horizon.

The B Side, "Glassy Eyes," showcases Kite’s mastery of somber, sweeping balladry. Hushed church organ elevates and anchors Stenemo’s devastated confessional, swaying between resilience and defeat. The band describes the song as a reckoning with "the privileged and existential anxiety of drifting through life dispassionately,” contrasted with “the yearning to connect profoundly with others and a desire for experiences that stir the soul before facing one’s final moments." Like a hymn, the emotion thickens as it deepens, approaching both darkness and divinity: "Deep as I go, nothing to find / Oh catatonia, I won’t cry / Nothing can grow, everything dies / Behind my glassy eyes."
