Since meeting Justin Vernon of Bon Iver at Glastonbury 2015 and being invited to spend time with him and his musical cohorts at his Eaux Claires Festival, Swedish singer/songwriter KLARA returned from Eaux Claires Deux in 2016 with a clear vision for her own music. ‘Broken’ first started percolating in KLARA’s mind as she travelled through the beautiful green expanse of the Wisconsin countryside on her way to Justin’s hometown festival and further evolved as she then made her way down the well-travelled Pacific Highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles, breathing in the nature and epic views that surrounded her.

With lyrics and melody in place KLARA finished writing the track in London in Paul Epworth’s Church Studios, before recording the track at Peter Gabriel’s wonderfully tranquil Real World Studios in the Bath countryside. Written and produced by KLARA, the track was co-produced by Erland Cooper (The Magnetic North, Erland & The Carnival) and engineered by Oli Jacobs. Hannah Peel also added some synth magic, underpinning the song with some subtly spaceage Jupiter 4. 

‘Broken’ is the first track to be released from her next album, which will be released later this year. 

The song follows hot on the heels of her ‘These Woods (Human Made)’ single, which soundtracked a Volvo television & cinema campaign and saw KLARA hit number 1 in the iTunes UK Singer/Songwriter chart earlier this year, number 9 in the Spotify UK Viral 50 and number 18 in the Shazam Future Hits UK chart, amongst other highlights.

KLARA will perform at 110 Above Festival this August, with further shows to be announced soon.
