Well Worn
By: Julia Cirignano
Lay out in a white leather couch in the back of a club and enter the world of Kllo; an electro pop duo consisting of cousins Simon Lam and Chloe Kaul. Well Worn is five hazy songs that guide Kllo’s listeners into their chillaxed world full of casual smoke, purple lights, and slow dance music. Although this album is electro pop, it has acoustic qualities–raw lyrics, a soulful voice, and a calming yet steady beat.
Kllo had quick success with their first EP Cusp. Similar, Well Worn is refreshing and clean. Their music tastes like a cup of ice water, yet comforts and relaxes their listeners like a warm cup of chamomile tea. During their songs, sometimes Kaul’s lyrics are indistinguishable, but her humming and muddled words add to the raw, murky quality that their music has. Sit back, grab a drink, and let the music of Kllo invade both your body and mind.
