Electrified-Indie-Rock

Kites In Lightning, hailing from Northern Colorado, features frontmen Eric Lungstrum (guitar, vocals) and Ben Haugestuen (guitar, vocals, keys). They are supported by bassist Karl Ayers and drummer Eric Zylstra, whose rhythmic backbone maintains momentum and keeps listeners engaged. With songwriting collaborations among all members, the band’s sound is a unique mix of indie and alternative rock inspired by icons like Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Sufjan Stevens, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliott Smith, The National, Arcade Fire, and The Decemberists. Their style can best be described as “classic indie with a modern twist.”
