Based in Camas, Washington, the atmospheric, female-fronted, indie quartet began at home where music was a part of everyday life growing up. "I don’t think I ever really saw myself doing anything else. Sitting in my bedroom tracking demos, experimenting for hours upon hours was never a chore. I lost myself in it; it was an outlet for everything from frustrations with relationships to a search for meaning and purpose," says Tim when describing the passion behind Kye Kye. “For all of us, this has been a labor of love."
Fronted by Olga's enchanting and wispy vocals, Kye Kye couples intricate lyrics with raw, electronic instrumentation. Kye Kye’s influences range from the organic likes of Sigur Ros, Deathcab for Cutie, and Coldplay, to the electric sounds of artists like M83. "Genre didn't really mean a whole lot for us growing up; we never had some kind of loyalty to a specific type of music. Be it folk, R&B, or anything classically 80s or 90s, it was always about the connection and about listening for honesty in the music, and I think that most people can somehow feel it without really being able to explain how." Olga explains, "When we write songs, that's what we strive to do: create music that we connect to and that makes us feel things and brings out those emotions within us. That’s what’s important to us in music: a connection."
Their 2011 debut album Young Love, produced by Eric Owyoung of Future of Forestry, was met with unforeseen and widespread acceptance, garnering an immediately devoted fan-base. Kye Kye's music is featured in the upcoming film Renee, starring Kat Dennings and Chad Michael Murray, and has also been heard in MTV's Awkward, as well as in commercials for both Samsung Galaxy SIII and Jawbone JAMBOX.
Amidst fans' growing anticipation , Kye Kye is excited to announce the arrival of their sophomore album. Having worked throughout January of 2013 in Nashville, TN with Producer Chad Howat (Paper Route, Brooke Waggoner), Kye Kye's second LP is set to be released in early Fall 2013.

Kye Kye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven in a way
How these lights they lead
Calm through December I wait
So then I know
I never said I was never tired
You said wake up in the morning
You said oh oh oh oh oH oH
With all you see and
Push with a heart, with a weight
With the mind that knows the one narrow road
What you said is right, I'll never walk away.
In the song "Dreams" by Kye Kye, the lyrics speak of perseverance and determination through hardships. The line "Heaven in a way" suggests hope and finding beauty in difficult situations. The following line "How these lights they lead" could be interpreted as a metaphor for guidance and finding one's path in life. The lyrics mention waiting "Calm through December" which could be symbolic of enduring a long, cold and challenging period in life, but with the knowledge that waiting will lead to better things.
The lines "You said wake up in the morning" and "What you said is right, I'll never walk away" could suggest the presence of a mentor or inspirational figure who motivates the singer. The repetition of the phrase "Push with a heart, with a weight" emphasizes the idea of putting in effort and overcoming obstacles despite the challenges. Finally, the line "With the mind that knows the one narrow road" suggests that the singer is focused on a specific goal and is determined to reach it.

My wife and I became instant fans when you opened fire Lydia at portland as paper rings. My wife talked to you guys after your set and couldn't believe How kind you guys were. Cannot wait to buy your new album. Listened to all the teasers and love the variety of sounds,tones, themes,that we could grasp.
