*Komëit*
Komëit alias Chris Flor und Julia Kliemann last released their album Falling Into Place, including around ten quiet popsongs with some electronica, guitar, keyboard and two voices.
Just before Quiet is the new Loud reared its tentative head in 1999, Julia Kliemann (vocals, sine keyboard) and Chris Flor (vocals, guitar) began to gauge the boundaries of calm fragility with their reduced tendercore:
when early attempts at collaborations (skateboarding) didn¹t work out, Chris decided to convince his fellow student Julia to join him for an improvised performance supporting songs:ohia instead.
With a touch of open naivety and idealism about them Komeit¹s simple stories and clear messages place them at the forefront of artists who are not afraid to expose their sounds and souls to the public
not in a shy, introverted way but via melancholically optimistic honesty. Their consciously minimalist approach results in humane directness, in a concentrated clarity. After the previous, intensely personal
outpourings of which focussed on a dogma of conceptual purity, Falling Into Place allows a lot more space to piano and echoing guitars to fill the gaps with atmospheric warmth the last album was a lot more about
emphasising the basic idea of a sound, of a melody or love song, this time we wanted to elaborate on this idea, to actually make the record we had in mind² Chris states.
Contemplative, romantic, heart-wrenching, slow, deliberately delayed and infused with their mutual musical past between Low, Codeine, Pastels and Brian Eno these two delicately interwoven voices almost hypnotically
drag us into the intricate spheres of Komeit Let¹s Melt, as one of their songs seductively invites us to do! On the remix collection Falling Back Together T. Raumschmiere, DJ DSL, Robert Lippok supply their very own
view of this distilled quietude.
