Klurax’s music is all over the place. Tracks like “u me forever,” are maximalist, hyperpop-influenced explorations of some distant galaxy. Meanwhile, “enough,” feels more like the soundtrack to a sweaty night of club hopping. This is an artist who is not afraid to throw things against the wall and see what sticks. Turns out pretty much everything sticks. Throughout it all, though, klurax’s delicate, ethereal voice gently floats amidst the chaos.
Klurax, “funeral clothes”: On “funeral clothes,” klurax dials it all the way back. Gone are the breakbeat drum parts, the crystalline droplets of synthesizer and the mishmash of textures. Instead, we’re treated to a hazy, dream-pop track that’s as restrained as it is alluring. It’s an addictive tune that, taken with klurax’s later work, showcases real versatility and vision.
