Kramies - Clocks Were All Broken
I’ve been meaning to write about this track for days, but time has its own ways…
Taken from Dutch-American singer and song-writer Kramies’ The Wooden Heart EP, and featuring the talents of the very excellent Jason Lytle, Clocks Were All Broken is not so much a song as a dream fragment, slowly looping and pulsing. Round and round it goes, as you absorb its hidden textures, until suddenly its gone, at which point you’re aware that something is missing, just not quite sure what.
I’d be forever happy if the song’s theme of time standing still - creating an eternally perfect moment like the trippy summer’s day at the beach - were somehow made real, its beautiful and dreamy psychedelia stretching out endlessly. As it is I have to make do with pressing repeat every four minutes, as indeed I have been doing for the last hour or so.
