Background notes
Archive material and source history
Kyla La Grande began in 2009 as a collaboration between singer-songwriter Kyla Smith and guitarist Patrick Sweany. Their debut album 'Hummingbird' came out in 2012, with the title track becoming a fan favorite. The group later expanded to include cellist Eliana Athayde, bassist Noah Besser, and drummer Aaron Sterling.
They followed up with albums called 'The Giant' and 'Flicker,' working with sounds that mixed folk, electronica, and ambient textures. In 2015, Kyla Smith spoke publicly about her mental health struggles, which affected the band's songwriting afterward.
Kyla La Grande has worked with other artists including Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, and The National. Their lyrics and public presence have sometimes drawn criticism for being too cryptic or distant, but they've kept making music on their own terms.
