I Am Kloot - Natural History

I first came across this band a few years ago on a free sampler CD and was so intrigued I decided to check out their debut album Natural History. I wasn't disappointed, it's packed with catchy clever songs that veer from soft tender ballads like No Fear Of Falling to the jazzy Sunlight Hits The Snow through the off kilter quirky genius of To You. The album is a nice mix of acoustic guitar, crashing drums and odd sound effects all held together by some great lyrics. They share certain similarities with their Manchester contemporaries Doves and Elbow but for some reason they've never had a breakout hit and they remain relatively obscure which is a shame...9/10



It's also worth checking out their other albums and I could have easily recommended any of those above this one. Particularly their second album, the self titled I Am Kloot, which picks up where Natural History left off with a slight expansion to the sound and a heavier and more polished feel and their last album Sky At Night which has a more introspective sound.
