I’ve covered the work of dutch-american dream-pop-crafter kramies many times on MFOA, and i am always happy to hear something new from him. now he has released another soaring, floaty, whistful new track for your free downloading pleasure as a bit of a promotional tool ahead of his upcoming french tour. i recommend it.
Put out the bunting. Strike up the band. Kramies has released a new song. Once again produced by Jason Lytle, ‘The Fate That Never Favored Us’ makes its way slowly and carefully down the tributaries of your half consciousness. In black and white, smiling faces wave in half speed at the vessel as it moves on. But they’re waving good bye. And Kramies is on board. Waiting for fate to favour him.
“Recently emerged from a mail Kramies on in the promo box. The Wooden Heart. I stand up and clap applause. The beginning and the end, between four whimsical songs. Melodic folk and atmospheric dream pop. Kramies, behind it hides the Dutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt from Denver, Colorado. Sounds that make us meditate. I stare off into space. Far away. It’s nice to dive for a few minutes in dreamy folk-pop and a touch of psychedelic. The Jason Lytle (Grandaddy) produced EP “The Wooden Heart” was released on the Australian label Hidden Shoal a year ago. Here and now, the music is still beautiful and timeless.”
