The Paper Kites, an Australian indie rock/folk band from Melbourne, were formed in 2010 by lead vocalist/guitarist Sam Bentley and keyboardist/guitarist Christina Lacy. The group gained initial traction with their 2010 single "Bloom", which was certified Platinum in the United States. Their first EP Woodland was released in August 2011, followed by another EP Young North in August 2012. The band's debut full-length album States, released in August 2013, peaked at number 17 on the ARIA Charts and included the singles "St Clarity" and "Young". In 2015, they released their second studio album Twelvefour. The Paper Kites have continued to release albums, including On the Train Ride Home in April 2018, For All You Give in August 2020, Walk Above the City in February 2021, and At the Roadhouse in September 2023. In January 2026, the band returned with If You Go There, I Hope You Find It.
