Reviews Customer Reviews for I Am Kloot      Deserves a lot more attention      Rating:      I Am Kloot is keyed by the brilliant lyricist John Bramwell. Top to bottom this is a listenable, often gripping album with layers of musical substance. For me, standout tracks include "From Your Favorite Sky, "Strange Arrangement," and "Sold As Seen." The final stunningly lyrical track, "Same Deep Water as Me," is not a tune to hear if you're slightly depressed about something. An incredibly moving track with a swinging beat, lovely use of orchestration, and the devastating line "Drench your soul in the water... cleanse your heart of the stain" that sounds like nothing so much as an embrace of the end of life. Some of the most beautiful lyrics anyone has recently written, and a song I for one will always remember.     Customer Reviews for I Am Kloot Cd      Best I Am Kloot album from the trilogy      Rating:      Bizarre that this is the only I Am Kloot album actually available in the U.S. the first and most recent one are only available on import. But the good thing is this is the best album of the 3. After debut album "Natural History"'s laid back acoustic feel what was the be expected for their 2nd album? Probably not what they delivered. Much more sonically heavier than the first album, but without any noisey guitar, the heaviness comes from the production and use more of keyboards and reverb. Songs like "Untitled #1", "Life In A Day" and "Cuckoo" all demonstrate the louder and darker side of this Manchester 3-piece, whereas "Here For The World", "Not A Reasonable Man" and "Mermaids" are sparse in arrangement and sublimely relaxing, the first of which has some nice piano playing. Not to forget the 2 best songs on the album "Proof" a song resurrected from an old b-side demo and recorded much better than the demo that is perfectly catchy and a beautiful song, the 2nd of the 2 is the epic "The Same Deep Water As Me" all I can say is wow! The epitomy of an emotionally charged song. An album of not one weak song "From Your Favourite Sky" and "3 Feet Tall" were both singles and both great songs and "Sold As Seen" could easily have been the 5th single from this album. Everyone who I recommended this to from the U.S. has never been dissapointed, are you? Editorial Reviews for I Am Kloot Audio Cd      Album Description      For a pint-sized scruff, Manchester's John Bramwell has a hell of a way with words, a voice like a fallen angel, and a genius for penning twisted torch songs laced with gorgeous melodies. The NME called their 2001 debut "Natural History", "a mystical, rapturous, staggering declaration of love." This, their second album, has raised the bar for the band.
