December 5, 2025 - Beloved indie folk band The Paper Kites have shared their new single “Change Of The Wind,” from their upcoming seventh studio album, ‘If You Go There, I Hope You Find It’, arriving on January 23rd via Nettwerk Music Group. “Change Of The Wind” is a reflective, soul-searching journey that captures the quiet yet powerful moments of personal transformation, exploring the delicate balance between acceptance, hope, and the courage to change one’s own mind. The track arrives with an official music video, directed by the band and featuring Christina Lacy, filmed both at the farm in Melbourne’s Yarra Valley where the album was written and inside the bus featured on the album artwork. The video is streaming now on The Paper Kites official YouTube channel HERE. “Change Of The Wind” is now available on all DSPs HERE.
Announced in September, ‘If You Go There, I Hope You Find It’ arrived alongside the tender single “Every Town.” 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. The album also includes recent singles “Shake Off The Rain” and “When The Lavender Blooms.” Intimate and achingly reflective, the record is guided by a longing for connection, simplicity, and emotional clarity. As Atwood Magazine notes, “That’s always been The Paper Kites’ gift: the way they wrap honesty in gentleness, the way they make space for stillness without losing momentum,” while Mundane Magazine observes that the album “brings The Paper Kites back to their core identity: five musicians, one heartbeat, and songs that feel honest, unvarnished, and deeply human.” 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. Exploring moments of change, introspection, and the beauty of imperfection, the record remains anchored in the band’s signature atmospheric sound, carrying a quiet familiarity that feels like returning home, both within and beyond yourself.
After previously selling out shows at Koko and Kentish Town Forum, the band played a momentous headline show in the capital this summer at Somerset House, sharing the stage with Nadia Reid, Flyte and Rosie Carney. On their newly announced tour, The Paper Kites continue to reach new heights, with their next stop in London taking place at the iconic Roundhouse. The band will also make stops at the O2 Ritz in Manchester, 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin, and more next February. Full UK/EU 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.
Along the way, The Paper Kites have worked on music with a number of trusted collaborators, including folk favourites such as Lucy Rose, Nadia Reid and Rosie Carney. But 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.
