Description/Reviews:
The White Kites‘ previous album Missing was a mix of spot-on 60s and 70s art-rock and psychedelia. Their latest release, Devillusion ... has more of a 70s vibe. David Bowie is the obvious reference point, with echoes of the Beatles, ELO and even Jethro Tull as well as artsy 90s bands like Pulp. The group’s playful sense of humor often masks a dark undercurrent. This is a long record, fourteen tracks of catchy, purist tunesmithing, outside-the-box sonics and strange interludes, best appreciated as a cohesive whole.

Description/Reviews
On Missing, the pop ingredients are plentiful, but take a backseat to The White Kites fondness of prog. Granted, it’s more accessible prog over histrionics, informed by the pop sides of Caravan, Genesis, Kevin Ayers, Floyd, and The Zombies to cite a few. The Beatles of course are no strangers, but they might be under the guise of Mr. Kite here, lending a baroque flair to the songs. It’s a heady mix, cutting a pretty wide swath in regards to influences and touchstones, but by no means a grab-bag. The White Kites have the chops to back up their aspirations.
