Earlier this month,\u00a0The Paper Kites\u00a0announced their seventh studio album,\u00a0If You Go There, I Hope You Find It<\/a>, arriving on\u00a0January 23rd via\u00a0Nettwerk Music Group. Alongside the announcement they shared their tender new single \u201cEvery Town<\/a>.\u201d The Paper Kites have a gift for crafting tender, emotionally rich songs, and “Every Town” is no exception. It\u2019s a sweet, melancholic reflection on love that lingers, even when everything else changes. With their signature soft melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the song captures that quiet ache of someone who\u2019s always with you, no matter how far you roam or how much time passes. There’s a warmth in the sadness, like a memory you don’t want to lose, even if it hurts a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Go There, I Hope You Find It<\/em>\u00a0includes the band\u2019s recent single \u201cWhen The Lavender Blooms<\/a>,\u201d recorded at Melbourne\u2019s legendary\u00a0Sing Sing Studios\u00a0and mixed by\u00a0multi-Grammy Award winner Jon Low\u00a0(Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Gracie Abrams). Intimate and achingly reflective, the album is guided by a longing for connection, simplicity, and emotional clarity. Rooted in themes of nature, healing, and hope, each track unfolds like a whispered conversation, offering comfort in its vulnerability and calm in its sincerity. As it explores moments of change, introspection, and the beauty of imperfection, the record remains anchored in the band\u2019s signature atmospheric sound. There\u2019s a quiet familiarity that runs through the album, carrying a sense of return, or of arriving at a place that feels like home, both within and beyond yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
