   About Melody Klyman
 

“Sinewy electronic grooves, melodic surefootedness and an existential gloom make Melody Klyman the Cocteau Twins for the i-generation.” - ANDY PEMBERTON (New York Times, Esquire, Blender, Spin, GQ, The Observer, Q, Mojo)


"Kate Bush takes over songwriting and vocal duties for Bat For Lashes.Bush For Lashes. This didn't happen, but Melody Klyman can more than satisfy those who wish it would.Not many debut albums can boast the amount of experience Melody Klyman offers on her new record 'Sovereign'.It is very personal and really symbolises an artist who has broken free from the chains."(CLASH MAGAZINE)


"but for me this is Annie Lennox' younger sister, dressed in black and striking a pose not disimilar to that of Shakespear's Sister, Siobhan Fahey. This album is like seeing the sunrise at dawn, the cold earth having produced a low mist over the landscape. And as the phoenix that is this album rises from the ashen coles, the feeling that Ms. Klyman may be starting on a spectacular journey is the electricity tingling in your fingertips. 9/10 (ATOMICDUSTER)


"She baulks at the term "gothic", but at its best her music is like Siouxsie Sioux in a tussle with UNKLE - it's symphonic, strident yet somehow soulful"- Paul Lester (THE GUARDIAN)


"haunting pulse pop resembling Laurie Anderson fronting a re-imagined One Dove"- (TIME OUT )


"Sullen, gloomy and atmospheric, Melody Klyman’s debut burns bright, like a dark star. Forceful drums and electronic beats provide the pulse and Klyman’s voice, the hooks, for this collection of densely produced, shadow pop symphonies.A record custom built for long winter evenings and clubs with a dress policy that errs towards black. Not for everyone, but what is?"-Rob F (LEICESTER BANGS)


"Ethereal vox meets pulsating synths to create a memorable debut and one which puts her firmly on the map."- Ian Todd (BAD ROBOT)

Melody. MELODY!!! How is it you DO that? Why do your songs tick all the right boxes, fill all the empty spaces with such exact and fitting shapes?

It's wonderful to hear even a little of the new material. Specially loving 'Calico' and the Killing Joke cover, 'Requiem'. The new sound ROCKS! While you've taken it forward since 'Sovereign' the music is still uniquely YOU!!!

FANTASTIC! I'm delighted you are pleased with what has emerged this year. You have EVERY right and reason to be.

That's the fun part taken care of. Now for the negotiations. Wishing for them to go as smoothly as you would prefer. You are deserving of maximum exposure.

Everything good to you, lovely lady. You've done it again! Hi ho, quick-silver!!

Love and extraordinary light.

Deb. xxx
