American songwriter Loren Kramar has laid out details of incoming album ‘Glovemaker’.
Out on April 26th, the record promises to be something special. A truly wonderful vocalist, Loren draws from multiple strands – Stax soul through to Soulquarian R&B, via pop’s outer limits – construct a unique audio palette.
The full 11-track offering is incoming, with Loren Kramar sharing the title song as a preview. Lush, widescreen, and packed with detail, ‘Glovemaker’ is a hugely evocative piece of songwriting, with daubs of colour from John Carroll Kirby’s spectral synth line, and Sam Gendel’s saxophone.
It’s coupled to a self-directed video starring Nick Robinson (Maid, A Teacher, Love, Simon) and non-binary artist Ilana Kozlov; the clip features a sad clown alone at a party, not aware of anyone but his ego.
Loren Kramar comments…
‘Glovemaker’ has become a kind of code for artmaking itself. A glove as a covering or mask that follows the contours of the life beneath it. As a song and symbol, this is an album about studying and tracing my own life – and then sharing what’s there. I live with a constant sense of reaching and this song is an attempt at telling that story. The loneliness, the striving and the obsession with becoming a better artist, more successful, more understood, loved.
Tune in now.
