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.

Softly
Kye Kye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Peace, in ways that calm my mind, I sense that over everything you think of me
Wait, won't you, wait on it
What you've got, won't stop
Wait, lover, wait on it
All you've got will only carry on
Fresh, a new alluring side, I'm leaving thoughts that cling to me and make me cry
Rest, a way that intertwines, with pleasant things and memories that set me free
I know your part
Fight for us
I know you'll stay
I am lost in ways, your arms they hold me right
Softly, hold me
Peaceful, lately.
The lyrics of Kye Kye's song "Softly" convey a message of peace in different forms. The first verse talks about waves of peace that both reveal and conceal something in the vision of the singer. The second verse speaks about a new side that makes the singer leaves behind the thoughts that distress her, and she finds a way to combine her memories with peaceful things. The lines "Wait, won't you, wait on it / What you've got won't stop / Wait, lover, wait on it / All you've got will only carry on" suggest that the singer is asking someone to be patient and wait for something that is worth waiting for. She has complete faith that if they hold on, they will only go forward, and what they have will not come to a stop.
The chorus of "Softly" describes the intimacy between the singer and her lover. She feels comfort in his arms and lost in her ways. She knows that her lover will fight for their relationship, and she is confident that he will stay with her. The word "Awe" sung right after the chorus conveys a sense of wonder and astonishment. The song ends with the lines "Softly, hold me / Peaceful, lately," which sum up the overall message that the singer is looking for tenderness and calmness in her life.
