{"product_id":"kite-losing-glassy-eyes-7-inch","title":"Kite - Losing \/ Glassy Eyes","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwedish synth-pop phenomenon Kite's second 7 inch since signing with Dais in 2023 finds the duo of Nicklas Stenemo and Christian Hutchinson Berg swinging for new heights of romantic desolation and baroque grandeur. They describe the A Side, \"\"Losing,\"\" as a \"\"six-minute empty call for emotional response.\"\" Stately piano and anguished voice reverberate in a vaulted hall, before gradually building into a widescreen anthem of synths, drums, and soaring vocals decrying the steady deadening of life and love: \"\"It's deadly quiet in your old heart \/ Are you there? \/ I see dark skies on the rise \/ And daylight shows no remorse \/ And I realize it is my life \/ But It's losing all meaning.\"\" Swedish dark music icons Anna von Hausswolff and Henric de la Cour join the chorus as the song cascades towards an ominous horizon.The B Side, \"\"Glassy Eyes,\"\" showcases Kite's mastery of somber, sweeping balladry. Hushed church organ elevates and anchors Stenemo's devastated confessional, swaying between resilience and defeat. The band describes the song as a reckoning with \"\"the privileged and existential anxiety of drifting through life dispassionately,\"\" contrasted with \"\"the yearning to connect profoundly with others and a desire for experiences that stir the soul before facing one's final moments.\"\" Like a hymn, the emotion thickens as it deepens, approaching both darkness and divinity: \"\"Deep as I go, nothing to find \/ Oh catatonia, I won't cry \/ Nothing can grow, everything dies \/ Behind my glassy eyes.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51597829079335,"sku":"683950557642","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4301729-3120195.jpg?v=1783438130","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/kite-losing-glassy-eyes-7-inch","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
