i really enjoyed this wooden heart! atmosphere lifts me up

Lovely intro! Agreed on the guitar... lush.

Absolutely loving this, can sit back and let it all flow in. Stands out, and rightly so.

Great atmosphere; great changes; great melody; great song structure. You're onto something here!

falling,
falling,
falling...
I've seen you drown your memory.

░▒▓█ＳＥＲＰＥＮＴ／／ＢＲＥＡＴＨ█▓▒░

‘The Wooden Heart’is the title track from the expansive new EP by dream-pop singer-songwriter Kramies, out now - http://store.hiddenshoal.com.

Produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils), ‘The Wooden Heart’ is a kaleidoscopic introduction to Kramies’ beautiful new release. The song’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go. Akin to The Moody Blues’ classic ‘Nights In White Satin’, ‘The Wooden Heart’ renders an immersive, widescreen pop vista that takes your breath away.

In addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), The Wooden Heart EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’). Rounded out by the beautiful artwork of French photographer Jérôme Sevrette, The Wooden Heart EP is a lovingly constructed work of art.

Kramies - 'The Wooden Heart'

Part of the opening track from my latest ambient album Real Life and How To Avoid It, out on CD, download and streamies.

This track (like most of my music) was improvised live in my studio with most of my synths rather than just the laptop. 
It is another example of me exploring ways of making even more minimal music that is still satisfying.

Playschool (ddos Remix)

Demo for my next album, The Gramophone Suite, which will be released late 2018. The track will also feature on the Soundcolours compilation "Chilltronica No6"

Film Two

Human

This is a song about someone falling in love with a hologram. Or maybe about a hologram who falls in love with someone. I dedicate it to Erasmo Carlos, Louise Brooks, and The Flamingos.
