I Am Kloot’s Peel Sessions

kloot.gif In April 2004, on release of their most recent and best album, Gods and Monsters, Bramwell peered out at a sold out Ritz, dipped his mouth to the microphone and sang the opening lines of ‘Coincidence’. “Love may have just come to bury me/But I’m not afraid of what I see.” We talk a lot about progress today, we’ll put with a lot for this undefined, malleable notion, but as those words seeped out there was a gravity, a break through, not just the band’s but everyone’s, as though all that’s best and highest was parting modern cultural maladies like the Red Sea.
