'Pretentious Moi' - Jemima's Kite Original

The Kite go electronic

This is Greeny on retro-synth sounds, Flash Harry on even more synth sounds and guitar, and ORH with an oustanding lyric and vocal. Listen to James' words - they are brilliant!

We had a lot of fun with this one

Lots more Kite songs in the pipeline...

I love the sound of this. Its time to bring back the early 80's electro-pop sounds again. Its cool again. Crystal clear recording here for so much sound. Well done guys.

Wow, i`m seeing that the kite is flying high once again. This is so different than what you guys usually do but thats why i like it.
Great vocals ORH. Great synths Greeny and Harry? I don`t think i`ve heard you play guitar. Great fills Bro!!

Had me smiling from the off, just like your synth track from a few days ago! I love those retro sounds, the way it builds and the great ending. It's a great full sound, lovely rich sounding synth noises and the production never gets messy. It really does sound like the 80s.....

And those lyrics had me rolling around my hotel room. "We dress in black and look like girlies......." - I must post a pic of me from the 80s! I hope you all had mascara on when you did this.

Mind you, "we chant en francais and talk like Bowie..." - I think I resemble that remark

This is just a complete slice of wonderfulness. And it's damn catchy as well.

Cheers,

Nigel

This is great! The lyrics are brilliant, and I just love synth music. Maybe the May festival will be "Electronic music & 80s synth pop"? It was only one vote behind Punk Rock in the April vote.
