Stray Kites
Ashburn, Virginia
About a three years ago I moved to the outskirts Ashburn, Virginia. It’s basically one big industrialized forest with a river down the middle. Most people’s personalities seem pretty contrived, but there’s a safe vibe about it . Anyways after missing a bus ride home one day I met Max Detrich and we started talking about music and how much we’d like to make some. The Wednesday of that following week we created Stray Kites. Recently I’ve been taking a lot of long walks in the forest writing music, thinking about people, and pining for the Autumn. Speaking of seasons though, this Summer we’re releasing our second album called Mieux. Not to sound vain, but I’m proud of it; we put a lot of work into this. It’s hard… being “independent. ”
Sometimes I feel like I have more mosquito bites than friends.
I like girls named Noelle.
