Model Rocket

2013 release from the Rhode Island-based Indie Rock band. In many ways, Model Rocket is a stark departure from The Brother Kite's previous records - gone are the heady song structures, choirs of overdubbed voices, and thickly reverberated instrumentation. Yet what remains is equally as endearing, never abandoning what makes TBK a great Rock band: buoyant melodies composed of heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics, careening over driving bass and drums, and fueled by their signature guitar sound. Like the miniature aircraft that inspired it's name, Model Rocket is at once exciting and familiar, a bold new step for a band that has never been satisfied to play it safe.
