The White Kites "Missing" debut album (art-rock)

Ahoy there, folks of all standings!
We the White Kites are setting sail on our maiden voyage. Nowt to gloat on, but we're heading for uncharted seas in our vessel of psychedelic nature. Off to a world of epic stories, humorous n' absurd musical sketches and humble ballads. A world filled by the sounds of distorted guitars, deep belly rumbling organs, soothing flutes and mesmerising mellotron.

The White Kites [ðə waɪt kaɪts] are a Polish psyche rock outfit that plays bouncing psych-rock/baroque-pop.
Inspired mainly by the tradition of British Rock from the 60's and 70's (Pink Floyd, Robert Wyatt, The Zombies, Genesis) but within their original music one can find varying degrees of influence from folk, music-hall and baroque.
The debut album ‘Missing’ (2014) awoke a mass of international interest. Magazines and webzine editors from New York to New Zealand having been praising The White Kites for their new/old, fresh and familiar sound.

"(…) "Missing" is a top album with the sort of ADD quality that ensures you'll still be finding surprises on the hundredth listen."
Nathan Ford / The Active Listener (New Zealand)

“Every time I slip ‘Missing’ into the CD player I discover something new. Its been a long time since I’ve had the chance to hear an album so varietous and at the same time excellent.”
Konrad Siwiński / Artrock (PL)

"Simply the best release since Jacco Gardner. The psych scene welcomes with open arms The White Kites!"
Jason Barnard / The Strange Brew (UK)

"Rich, dense, but not impenetrable, "Missing" is both worldly and homespun, incisive and absurd."
Mr. Atavist / Sunrise Ocean Bender (USA)
