KITES2.jpgThis is possibly my favourite album of the year. Kites' Chris Forgues does extremely well with producing distinct harsh noise records. Forgues refrains from using any digital effects, instead focusing on building his own noise insturments. One of my favourite things about his work is that the production value is pristine; you can actually hear everything that's going on. It's nice to hear the harsh sounds he's making, not losing them in a lo-fi squalor that is common to a lot of records of the same ilk. This album is pleasantly cold and I approve of its overall shape.
