Hear The Melodic New Grunge Track From Desert Kites
Photo courtesy of the band.Dundee alternative rock two-piece Desert Kites announces their return with the new single ‘Ostrich (I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead).’ The track continues their run of global airplay and strong reviews, following successful 2024 singles via SODEH Records. Heavily influenced by 90s grunge and hard rock, the band crafts melodic structures around poetic lyrical montages that reflect life’s sometimes angry, sad, or indifferent moments.

Weil die Frage aufkam, inwiefern denn so ein kleines Mäuerchen als #Jagdfalle dienen könne ...
Man kann sich das ganz ähnlich der bekannten #DesertKites ("Wüstendrachen" - nicht wie das Fabeltier 🐉, sondern das Fluggerät 🪁) vorstellen:

La découverte de cartes néolithiques gravées dans le désert saoudien et jordanien, remontant à près de 10 000 ans, montre qu'homosapiens avait la capacité à concevoir mentalement des territoires qu'ils ne pouvaient voir dans leur ensemble depuis le sol.
A long journey into the wildest, most remote parts of #Eryri this morning to investigate this fascinating sheepfold, which has very strong parallels with the head structures of Jordanian desert kites.

Desert kites are much in the press these days. I only heard about them last night (well, they were only discovered by the west in the 1920s!)
Already, I have some pretty serious questions to ask about their general interpretation as 'killing traps'.
Such as: if they were for killing, why do many of them show unambiguous remains of cellular enclosures within? I mean, that would make them stock control systems, not hunting traps.
