Beloved indie folk band The Paper Kites have unveiled their seventh studio album If You Go There, I Hope You Find It. To celebrate the release, they’ve also shared an official music video for the previously unreleased track ‘Morning Gum’, streaming now.

About the new album, lead vocalist Sam Bentley reflects, “This record feels like a band remembering what made them fall in love with playing music in the first place. Five friends, five musicians, rediscovering what made them want to do this together. We had a beautiful time making this album. A lot of these songs were written out at the farm we rehearse at, which has become a place of great direction and growth for us over the years. As such, the record has taken on much of the character of that place, and you’ll see it reflected in the colours and visuals surrounding the album. There’s a lot of the five of us in this record. We hope you enjoy.”

If You Go There, I Hope You Find It is highlighted by recent singles ‘Change Of The Wind’, ‘ Shake Off The Rain’, ‘Every Town’ and ‘When The Lavender Blooms’. Each track was accompanied by an official music video, featuring a different band member and shot at their friend’s farm in Melbourne’s Yarra Valley. Intimate and achingly reflective, the album is guided by a longing for connection, simplicity, and emotional clarity.

The band are hosting a series of intimate, in-the-round album release parties across the country, giving fans the chance to hear the new record performed live in full. Shows in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney sold out within 30 minutes, prompting the band to add extra dates in all three cities due to overwhelming demand. The shows kicked off in Adelaide last night, with their hometown Melbourne show taking place tonight. Info HERE.

Coming up this year, the band will play at Taronga Zoo for the Twilight Series on February 6, join Bernard Fanning at his final Tea & Sympathy 20th Anniversary Show in Brisbane and tour across UK/EU and the US.

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, Lizzy McAlpine, and LAUV – they’ve remained committed to patience, craft, and the enduring power of a perfectly written song.
