Since surfacing into the Scandinavian synthpop scene, KITE have steadily grown from local icons to a global phenomenon, yet until now they’ve never released a full-length studio album. VII (released on Dais Records Aug 9th 2024) breaks the ice, collecting 14 of the duo’s deepest and most dynamic anthems into a stormy saga of immersive, apocalyptic emotion.
Sourced from a series of seven 7-inch singles released over the past half-decade, the collection persuasively showcases KITE’s distinctly cinematic strain of Swedish darkwave in all its glory and desolation, and includes collaborations with Blanck Mass, Anna von Hausswolff, and Henric de la Cour.

After forming in Malmö, Sweden, they soon relocated to Stockholm, further refining their fusion of brooding synths, booming rhythm, and vocal theatrics over a string of celebrated numbered EPs (named I through VI).
Despite their rising profile, KITE then and now have largely refrained from publicity, allowing their music to speak for itself –
which it clearly has, as KITE’s live performances have become the stuff of legend, prompting frequent festival invitations, international tours, and limited engagements on prestigious stages (recently at the Avicii Arena, Royal Swedish Opera and Dalhalla, to name a few).
