Lola Kite
Shimmering Dutch synth-pop that feels like a vintage postcard coming to life. Warm analog melodies and psychedelic vocal stacks for sun-drenched afternoons.

Lola Kite is an Amsterdam-based ensemble that emerged in 2007, becoming a pivotal part of the Dutch indie-electronic scene. Originally a trio consisting of Bram Vervaet, Jasper Verhulst, and Keez Groenteman, the band's sound evolved significantly through their collaboration with neo-psych auteur Jacco Gardner, who eventually joined as a member.
Their sonic identity is a meticulous blend of 1960s psychedelic pop melodicism and 1980s synthesizer technology, often utilizing vintage gear to achieve a warm, tape-saturated aesthetic. The band is notable for their visual-first approach to releases, frequently collaborating with VJs and art academies to create distinct video identities for every track. Culturally, they represent a specific era of Dutch 'Excelsior Recordings' style pop, characterized by high technical proficiency and a deep reverence for pop history. Following their peak in the early 2010s, members became integral to Jacco Gardner's touring band and the global psych-rock outfit Altin Gün, cementing their influence within the broader European psych-pop lineage.
