Band: HIGHLAND KITES

Base: Los Angeles, CA, US

Who: “the brainchild of singer-songwriter Marissa Lamar who teamed up with drummer Neil Briggs. By weaving hope, positivity and closure into their songs they create compelling and often dark content that ultimately feels uplifting. Their goal is to make people feel better even though most of the songs are themed around painful experiences.”

Track: I DIDN’T BELONG HERE

Score: I guess many of us experience(d) that weird, yet truly human emotion when
you use harrowing music as a remedy for a state of moodiness. A spine-tingling voice
to solace your troubled heart and hurt soul in times of love sickness, depression or any kind of sadness that brings your spirit down. Marissa Lamar definitely has that healing force. Her crystal clear vox, somewhere between Linda Rondstadt and Sharon Van Etten, somewhere between melancholic country and downcast blues, somewhere very special, will move you graciously and softly. This is the magnificent voice and this is the matching, downhearted ballad you want to hear on the jukebox when you have a drink, late night, somewhere in a bar in the city, lonely and affected by emotional damage. This is gloomy pearl ‘I DIDN’T BELONG’…
