"feedback is the lifeblood and accoutrements of Kite Operation's musical corporeality... a post-rock canopy of soaring guitar work." - Coke Machine Glow
"If you're looking for easy, familiar music you would best be advised to steer clear of this album. But if you're in the mood for consciousness altering creativity...you will find a wealth of thought provoking material to digest here." - LMNOP
Kite Operations: Dandelion Day (2005, K.O.A.)
Buy it at: Insound | CD Baby | Apple iTunes
Distributed by CTD, Ltd. and ToneVendor .
Released in Korea by Pastel Music
"...twelve beautiful pop tunes recorded with acute attention to detail in terms of composition and arrangements. ...intense music that always manages to focus--first and foremost--on spectacular vocal melodies. By combining abrasive tendencies with ethereal sounds, this album succeeds on many different levels. Dreamy hard pop with peculiar spontaneity." - LMNOP
"...could lay claim to lo-fi genius if it wasnt for the fact that it sounds just huge..." - Smother
