Clutter announce their debut EP and share new single ‘Kraut’

Hotly tipped Stockholm-based four-piece, Clutter, today announce the release of their debut EP, Clutter Loves You, for April 11 via PNKSLM Recordings. The announcement arrives alongside their latest single ‘Kraut’.

The EP’s closing track and the first song they ever recorded, ‘Kraut’ features grungy lyrics filled with restless malaise, paired atop melodic indie hooks and a droning fuzzy bassline. The band said, “At our first gig we only played two songs and that was one of them, so it’s quite sentimental. Playing stuff live becomes the benchmark of what we feel about a song and how a crowd reacts, and that was one of the first songs where it all felt right.”

Fleshing out the quartet’s sonic world, the six track debut EP, Clutter Loves You, fuses existential lyrical ideas, post-hardcore guitars, and feisty, punk-spirited calls to arms.

Speaking of the new track, Clutter said: “’Kraut’ is a straightforward, endless cycle of static guitars. The simple build is accompanied by emotion filled vocals and a melancholic synthesizer. It’s a dreamlike krauty death dance and it’s one of the first songs we ever wrote together. Hilda wrote the lyrics on her endless way home from one of the first real parties she ever attended and we wrote the music together in our old school. Recorded in Oves tiny childhood bedroom, we were all hovered over a little synthesizer and improvised the noises at the end. It’s nostalgic and captures a feeling of adolescence we all will undoubtedly lose.”
