Bristol-based indie four-piece Chasing Kites again on the release of their upcoming new single ‘Collide’, out on March 29th 2024.
Recorded with Sam Winfield (Amber Run, Bring Me The Horizon) at Studio 91, the track is one close to vocalist Matt Donnelly’s heart, telling the story of how his parents met.
“The writing of Collide took me into unexplored territory in terms of the lyrical content. The track tells the story of how my parents fell in love in somewhat unusual circumstances, in that my dad was already married, and my Mum in a long-term relationship. I find it incredibly romantic how their love for one another was strong enough to overcome this. I’d been keen to incorporate this story into a Chasing Kites track for a while and for whatever reason, this piece of instrumentation felt like the perfect opportunity”, says Donnelly.
“In terms of the arrangement, the track was handed over to me by our guitarist Liam in a state where it was essentially fully formed as an instrumental. I lived with the track for a few days and wrote the melody shortly after. As is generally the case with our tracks, the lyrics took a lot longer to take shape. As this story means so much to my family, it was important that I did it justice.”
