The Kite String Tangle is the solo project of Danny Harley, a Brisbane-based electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist who launched it in 2012. The music is alternative electronica built for late nights: soft-focus beats and shimmering synths that feel like city lights through a rainy window.
The Vessel EP, in 2014, gave him "Arcadia", a slow-blooming, glacially pretty track that builds to a gentle swell, and the same year "Given the Chance" turned up on Armada Chill 001.
Four studio albums have followed: the self-titled one first, in 2017, then The Kite String Tangle Presents: In a Desperate Moment a year later, C()D3X in 2020, and most recently Lustre, in 2023.
