THE PAPER KITES ANNOUNCE SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘IF YOU GO THERE, I HOPE YOU FIND IT’ ARRIVING VIA NETTWERK ON JANUARY 23RD
October 1, 2025 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
Beloved alternative folk band The Paper Kites have announced their seventh studio album, If You Go There, I Hope You Find It, arriving on January 23rd via Nettwerk Music Group. To herald the announcement they’ve shared their brand new single “Every Town,” available now on all streaming platforms. The tender track is accompanied by an official video, streaming now on their official YouTube channel HERE.
The Paper Kites have a gift for crafting tender, emotionally rich songs, and “Every Town” is no exception. It’s a sweet, melancholic reflection on love that lingers, even when everything else changes. With their signature soft melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the song captures that quiet ache of someone who’s always with you, no matter how far you roam or how much time passes. There’s a warmth in the sadness, like a memory you don’t want to lose, even if it hurts a little.
If You Go There, I Hope You Find It features the band’s recent single “When The Lavender Blooms,” recorded at Melbourne’s legendary Sing Sing Studios and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winner Jon Low (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Gracie Abrams). Intimate and achingly reflective, the album is guided by a longing for connection, simplicity, and emotional clarity. Rooted in themes of nature, healing, and hope, each track unfolds like a whispered conversation, offering comfort in its vulnerability and calm in its sincerity. As it explores moments of change, introspection, and the beauty of imperfection, the record remains anchored in the band’s signature atmospheric sound. There’s a quiet familiarity that runs through the album, carrying a sense of return, or of arriving at a place that feels like home, both within and beyond yourself.
Earlier this week, the band returned to the U.S. for a string of headline shows, alongside select support dates on The Teskey Brothers’ North American tour. Later today, they’ll perform at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, Kentucky, with a set at Richmond, VA’s Iron Blossom Music Festival to follow later this month. The band also recently announced their 2026 UK/EU headline tour, which goes on sale today. Full tour routing is included below.

With over two billion global streams and 40 million monthly views across social platforms, The Paper Kites have become a defining voice in modern folk-rock and Americana, earning a dedicated global audience through understated storytelling, flawless harmonies, and deeply personal songwriting. Their breakout track “Bloom” became a worldwide phenomenon, now multi-Platinum across several countries, and was memorably covered by Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Their music has also soundtracked pivotal moments in Grey’s Anatomy, This Is Us, Virgin River, and countless personal milestones in fans’ lives. Even as their influence has quietly expanded – cited by artists like Zach Bryan and Lizzy McAlpine – they’ve remained committed to patience, craft, and the enduring power of a perfectly written song.
