Chromatic Flights - Sunset Bell

Kyle Wyss is one half of psych-folk-noise teenagers, Blind Man's Colour. The duo (Kyle's musical partner is long time friend, Orhan Chettri) released a record this year called Seasons Dreaming. It is definitely a good record, but I think his solo stuff is definitely on the same level. While Blind Man's Colour is a lot noisier and a little more free-form, Chromatic Flights is a more electronic-pop oriented project.

Synonymous with this whole tropical sound going down these days, the Sunset Bell EP is close to perfect. It's saddening that this is only 7 songs, with one being a cover of one of Orhan Chettri's songs (Lucid Bus). The songs are bit on the long side which makes up for its brevity.

It is clear that Wyss has a good ear for a structure and how to build a weird pop song. His use of keyboards and synth pads is impressive along with his beats and samples. Simple stuff here, folks, but definitely download this.
