Dead Waves is a studio album by English electronic indie pop band Kyte. Although it is the second full-length release in the band's discography (excluding the self-titled mini-album), it was the first full-length release to be made available outside of Asia and was promoted as their "first proper long-player" by the band's UK based label Kids Records.[1]

Critical reaction

The album received a 7/10 from the British journalism magazine NME.[2] MusicOMH rated it 3/5 finding little development from previous release the Two Sparks, Two Stars EP.[3]

Alter The Press! gave the release a favourable 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "its consistency, flowness and craftsmanship is something to be admired."[4]

Remix competition

In conjunction with the release of Dead Waves, a remix competition was held by the band for their track Ihnfsa.[5] The competition was announced on the band's official MySpace blog on February 16th, 2010, and the closing date was on the 26th of the same month.

Three download links were provided, which were hosted on the Kids Records website and contained the files needed to begin remixing the track. The winning entry was submitted by FILMLOOP[6][7] and was featured on the IHNFSA EP, which was released as a digital download via iTunes on April 19th, 2010.[8] A number of promotional CDr copies were also produced.[9]
