Gold Coast six-piece to release their debut album, So Long And Thank You, this summer.

FAIRCHILD release High As A Kite, a taste from their forthcoming debut, So Long And Thank You.

Bringing on star producer, Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice), it’s no surprise that High As A Kite excels with a neat production. Dipping into seductive vibes with clever hooks, disco references and climbing synths, FAIRCHILD give a tasteful sneak peek into their debut album. Reaching for a persuasive crescendo, it’s still the glittering guitar work and slight disco touch that brings the gold on the single.

Adam Lyons says of the track:

I first wrote ‘High As A Kite’ on piano and it sounded quite sweet. But by the time we were in the studio, the track had morphed into this sort of passive aggressive anthem. I could detect this vein of anger running through the whole song. There was nothing about it that made you want to pump your fist or break something. It’s the sort of anger you swallow every time you have to bite your tongue and think something instead of saying it. The anger you hold back.

FAIRCHILD’s debut So Long And Thank You is due to be released on August 4th via their own label, Canvas Sounds.
