‘Go Fly A Kite’ is the critically acclaimed new album from Ben Kweller, released in the UK on May 14th 2012. From the first crashing cymbal and dynamic electric riff of ‘Mean To Me’, to the closing upbeat declaration of ‘You Can Count On Me’, ‘Go Fly A Kite’ encompasses all the many facets of Ben Kweller. The songwriting on tracks like ‘Free’ and ‘Full Circle’ is both relevant and reflective, and Kweller’s unique delivery is the perfect foil for his pop-driven melodies. Infused with rich harmonies, lush arrangements and bittersweet lyrics, ‘Go Fly A Kite’ is a career-defining album with the ability to resonate beyond its time.
