The DNA of Kites And Komets:
The main DNA in Kites And Komets is the soul of the good pop song – the melody. The melody combined with lyrics often orbiting on topics such as daring to believe in true love, friendship and yourself –  you have the core of Kites And Komets.

The ongoing focus in Kites And Komets’ universe is contrasts. Contrasts between light and darkness, between faith and doubt, and in the midst of it all lies a quest for true love, relations and the meaning in life.
Behind Kites and Komet is the 28 -year-old songwriter and musician Mikael Kærsgaard whose band history includes Munich and Hymns From Nineveh. The expression in the music moves in the intersection between the catchy danceable pop univers and a pensive and wistful sound. Duality and contrasts are consistent in Kites and Komets universe both lyrically and in the name of the project;

The Name:
The “Kite” is as a symbol of something peaceful and controlled and the comet is the opposite uncontrollable and chaotic force. Also the sound is characterized by contradictions, where K & K combines the tight sharp cut electropop with organic hand played beats, folkish elements and soulful vocal harmonies .
