The release of Roses, the fifth album from this Melbourne, Australia indie-folk quintet, marks 10 years since Paper Kites’ international debut with their single, Bloom, in 2010, as well as the transformation of original duo Sam Bentley and Christina Lacy into a group including Sam Rasmussen, David Powys and Josh Bentley. Welcome to campfire ambience and the mood of a late morning lie-in, miles from the stress and violence of the world, with ten ethereal, romantic new songs that invite the listener in to relax and forget real-life troubles and strife. You’ll recognise the melancholy sterling guitar lines, a Sam Bentley signature, similar to Chris Isaak or some tracks by The XX. The novelty? Each song features a different guest vocalist, a parade of vocal wonderment dazzling the current scene, with singers from the four corners of the planet: Sweden’s Amanda Bergman, England’s Lucy Rose, Aussie Julia Stone, Ireland’s Rosie Carney, New Zealander Nadia Reid and Portuguese singer MARO. She helps kick off the album, and the mood is immediately set, with her spellbinding vocals gradually blending with Bentley and Lacy in Walk Above the City. Melancholy takes hold and spreads its way through the subsequent tracks, Climb on Your Tears with American-Irish singer Aoife O’Donovan (of Crooked Still), and a ballad that sounds like it just crossed over from the soundtrack to a David Lynch film, Crossfire, with a vocal from Amanda Bergman that would not be out of place in an episode of Twin Peaks. Without Your Love, featuring the lovely Julia Stone, pumps some energy back into the proceedings. As the title indicates, Roses is the perfect album to help celebrate Valentine’s Day, every day. © Yan Céh/Qobuz
