If you’ve been reading long enough, I’m sure you’ll remember how much I adored Kite Flying Society towards the end of last year after discovering their warm, sunny pop music in the middle of a cold winter. Well, nothing’s changed and it looks like the San Diego-based band are set to do exactly the same this year with their second album due to be released around autumn time, just in time to thaw the ice once more.

The first track from their new album, entitled ‘The Aviary’, to be released for public listening pleasure is called Oh, Amy! I’d love to say that they’ve spent the last few months listening to nothing but Metallica and gone all ‘different’ on us but that is certainly not what they’ve done. Kite Flying Society’s new song (/single?) takes the same formula as their fabulous debut, ‘Where Is the Glow?’ and creates that same warm, fuzzy feeling inside after listening to it. As I said, this is perfect summertime music but in a summer like the one we’re having here (There hasn’t been a day for weeks without at least one torrential downpour) it serves a very different purpose, somehow managing to brighten up the drab weather.

There’ll be more about the album when it’s released later on in the year but for now, I suggest you take a listen to the new album track below and see what you think. If you like it and haven’t yet heard 2006’s ‘Where Is the Glow?’ make sure you head over to the band’s Myspace for some more information.
