Kite Flying Robot — Solid Gold
Here's to cool.
Indie
Stephen Carradini
For an album that boasts 13 different instruments, eight vocalists and a bling-tastic title, I expected the Oklahoma City-based Kite Flying Robot’s debut to be a giddy, stuffed-to-the-hilt affair.

The Workweek — Promises, Promises
Country
Stephen Carradini
Oklahoma City’s The Workweek follows The Jayhawks and Wilco in making the lines between folk, country and rock negligible on its debut release, “Promises, Promises.”
Ugly no more
The last hurrah of The Uglysuit appears
Music
Stephen Carradini
