I’m so excited to share my new album ‘The Architects’, which was released on June 5th, 2020 on Outside In Music’s Next Level imprint! Making this record has truly been a labour of love, and I can’t wait for all of you to hear it. This album features the incredible musicianship of violinist Lisanne Tremblay, pianist Jamie Reynolds, bassist Gary Wang and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell. ‘The Architects’ is available on all streaming platforms, and at https://karivanderkloot.bandcamp.com/ Hope you love the music as much I loved making the album!

I’m so thrilled to announce that my first single from “The Architects” is out TODAY!

Same Song is a tightly wound song written in the form of a palindrome.  The idea for Same Song was born on a day when I realized that I had basically written the same song twice!  I ended up scrapping both of those songs and writing this one instead. This was one of the most fun songs to record– The Bunker Studio has an incredible collection of vintage synthesizers, so Jamie Reynolds picked a vintage mini-Moog to experiment with in the studio and we ended up adding lots of extra layers of Moog!

I’m incredibly excited to present to you my upcoming album… ‘The Architects’!  

This album lives somewhere in the space between modern jazz and folk and features all compositions by me, including a setting of an e.e. cummings poem. This album is about reaching and growing, trying to break out of our boxes and attempting to build a world that we want to live in. The music is intricately arranged for ensemble playing, with lots of layers of vocals and moments of improvised abandon. ’The Architects’ features an incredible cast of New York musicians with whom I feel privileged to make music with:  

Lisanne Tremblay – Violin

Jamie Reynolds – Piano

Gary Wang – Bass

Nathan Ellman-Bell – Drums  

’The Architects’ is set for worldwide release on June 5th on Outside In Music’s NextLevel imprint. 
Want to make sure you have the album the moment it’s released? You can pre-order it on Bandcamp starting on Tuesday: https://karivanderkloot.bandcamp.com/

This album is really special to me and I can’t wait to share this music with you all soon. Please follow my Facebook Page and Instagram (@karivanderkloot) to keep updated on all things ‘The Architects’.
