Go Fly a Kite by Ben Kweller
Go Fly a Kite is an album by Ben Kweller, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Mean To Me”, on 3 lists with a best position of #32.
Go Fly a Kite, released on February 7, 2012, was Ben Kweller's fifth studio album and the first after he parted ways with ATO Records, landing instead on The Noise Company. The San Francisco-born, Texas-raised songwriter and former Radish member sounds footloose here, leaning into sunny, hook-first power pop with crunchy guitars and a boyish grin.
"Mean To Me" is the pick, a bright, bouncing rocker that plays like a summer afternoon. The record's nicest touch has nothing to do with the sound: Kweller printed detailed notes on how to play every song next to the lyrics, chord changes and all, and AllMusic singled out that open-book generosity as one of the things that made it such a refreshing listen.
