Between two recording sessions for his band Gliss, Martin Klingman goes stripped down: he just plays sparse notes on his acoustic guitar to produce lo-fi (but silky) folk music, and lets his high-pitched, nearly feminine voice, caress our ears. Possibly a cross between Devendra Banhart and Hope Sandoval?
"What moments fill you with childlike innocence? Running in the rain? Listening to the White Album on headphones spaced out to no end? Laughing out loud wrenched over in tears?
It's been an amazing journey for me. These songs came to me through living each day. I had not much to do with it. They fell into my lap, recorded in a 24 hour period, live, with no overdubs. I had been strumming around town with my band GLISS & decided with the encouragement of those close to me to document a stripped down version of my latest batch of melody & chords.
