Vocalist Michael Canfield: "When Floris contacted me to be the voice of If It's All the Same I was initially quite flattered. My realisation, as I was tracking the performance, was that the feeling described in the song were actually not just personal, but universal. The desire for connection, however fleeting in a lonely world, is something many people will relate to.

It's All the Same, like the best songs, speaks the truth of many hearts and lets us all know we are not alone. And isn't that one of the purposes of all great songs?"

Bang (feat. Lise Chris)

Robot Girlfriend is a fun, humourous, electro/indie-pop song with a fair share of sincerity and heart.

Floris Groenewald, songwriter, frontman, and vocalist, describes the song with his tongue in his cheek: “Robot Girlfriend is simply about how flippin’ sweet it would be to have a girlfriend who’s a robot.”
“But it’s also about when your love life is so completely disappointing that you just retreat into a fantasy world and reject all sense of reality - or so my doctors say.”

The Pact is the most romantic song I've written about marriage pacts. I guess that's pretty self-explanatory.

The Pact

Broken Promises is the most romantic song I've written about being someone's side-guy. Or wanting to be someone's side-guy. Or settling for being a side-guy? Or is it literally about performing on a stage? Hey, if you can figure out what the song is about, let me know. This song has Rian Britz on accordian.

Broken Promises

Kabaal klankbaan is Gauteng-based musician Floris Groenewald’s folk-rock music project. “It’s not a stage name,” says Floris, “but a band, of which I’m the only permanent member.” They play acoustic, alternative folk-rock, which varies from indie-pop songs, folky dystopian love songs, bluesy rock & roll, to songs about robots and video games.

Most live performances consist of one guy with an acoustic guitar, harmonica, and stompbox, rocking and rolling and folking in an attempt to ignore genre limitations. His next show might be Afrikaans, English, bilingual, folky, rocky, accompanied or solo. In 2015 Kabaal klankbaan performed several times as a duo, joined by saxophinist Andre van Coller.

Kabaal klankbaan has released a debut album, Dit wat oorgebly het, in October 2012, closely followed by a standalone, free download single, This town is for lovers, in November 2012. They launched a new single, Player Two (featuring Gad de Combes from Adventure Man and Shortstraw), in October 2013, and a second full-length album, Baptism, in June 2015.
