Kai Tak & There's Talk - Flood the Harbour (Indie Rock)

🕑 1 min / Text: Franklin Release Date: Apr. 23, 2024 Kai Tak isn't new to me; I suppose I've grasped the connection between the artwork and the band name. Kai Tak was also the name of the old international airport in Hong Kong that closed in 1998, which might be depicted here. Sorry, off-topic, let's talk about the music! "Flood the Harbour" is a new release and a great collaboration with Olivia Lee, aka There's Talk. I really like the expressive way of singing, while the track also really manages to stand out with its shoegazey guitars and its psychedelic soundscape. Check out the song below.
