About the Album
REC's most epic album. Fourteen tracks seamlessly sequenced. The most personal and comprehensive REC album ever. Electro. Pop. Rock. Hip hop. Funk. Ambient. Straight-ahead-weirdness. It's all there.
​
Kite to Camden tells a story about reaching out from the depths of self-involvement. It asks a lot of questions, answers a few of them - including whether you really need the answers at all, and comes out the other side shining.
​
It's also a beacon, a series of messages to the alternate universe that NOW is the time to merge destinies and make REC all it's meant to be.
​
Pick any song and it stands alone strongly, but we RECommend you listen from beginning to end, non-stop. What you'll get out of the experience will be transcendent.

Reviews for Kite to Camden
Smart, raw, and unfiltered—Kite to Camden isn’t just an album. It’s a conversation you’ve been meaning to have with yourself.
​
Kite to Camden by REC is a raw, genre-melding ride through emotion, memory, and meaning. From lo-fi confessionals to bold anthems, it's indie music with a pulse—and a point.
​
REC’s Kite to Camden is what happens when lo-fi grit meets hi-res self-awareness. From the chaotic hunger of “Eat Salvation” to the playful ache of “All On Me,” it’s an album that doesn’t shy away from hard feelings—or catchy choruses. Personal without being self-absorbed, this is the sound of emotional evolution in real time.
Kite to Camden is a genre-blurring journey through vulnerability, rebellion, and redemption. With his signature blend of indie pop, lo-fi rock grit, hip-hop cadence, and raw singer-songwriter soul, REC (aka Nick DeMatteo) crafts a record that’s equal parts intimate and expansive. Standout tracks like “All On Me” and “Twist My Kite” balance catchiness with emotional depth, while “Eat Salvation” and “You Know You’re Right” dive into deeper existential terrain. This is music for the late-night thinkers and the midday wanderers—a personal soundtrack for public catharsis.
​
Kite to Camden sounds like someone finally telling the truth—musically, emotionally, and unapologetically. REC blurs genre lines with fearless honesty and hooks you never see coming.
