Bristol’s Chasing Kites has once again captivated audiences with their latest single, “The Woods.” Known for their evocative storytelling, the band takes their sound to new heights with “The Woods” and offers a lush aural experience.
Fans will recognise “The Woods” as a staple in Chasing Kites‘ live sets and it diverges from the band’s previous singles “Collide,” “Late Nite,” “Two Towns,” and “Shiver” by embracing a denser, more atmospheric sound. The result is a song that feels expansive yet intimate.
The band’s signature storytelling shines through, painting vivid pictures of journeys both literal and metaphorical. As the song progresses, the music and lyrics intertwine to create a compelling narrative. The tinny guitars shimmer like sunlight through a canopy as “The Woods” quickly builds into a rich tapestry of sound. The crashing drums create a powerful backdrop, driving the track forward with relentless energy. Heartfelt vocals soar above the music delivering a performance that carries an emotional weight reminiscent of U2.
Chasing Kites has a proven track record of crafting songs that fuse catchiness with depth, and “The Woods” is another testament to their talent. With “The Woods”, the band solidifies their status as a formidable force that showcases their ability to create monumental sound.
