Amsterdam five-piece, The Klittens, have announced their long-awaited debut album, Have A Heart, due September 25 and unveil title track ‘Have A Heart.’ The album will be self-released via Cargo Records.
Switching between the perspectives of the passionately disaffected and cheerfully unbothered, ‘Have a Heart’ is about using apathy as a form of self-defence. “’Have A Heart’ was an easy song to start and a tougher one to finish. From the get-go the concept was clear: an indie song that ripples along with a rock ’n roll sort of strut. But where there’s ease I want chaos and my campaign for an unstructured noise part was born,” guitarist Winnie Conradi explains. “Someone once said about our very first single: ‘you think you know where you stand with The Klittens until they serve up a sonic curveball’ and I think we stayed true to that – throughout the entire album actually.”
Have A Heart paints a heavy picture with pastels. Both an accusation and a plea, the title speaks to the core of the album; feelings of powerlessness which we all experience in our lifetime and the way we fight against them. No matter the scale of your sense of helplessness, and however you react to it, whether its resistance or surrender, there’s a good chance there’s a track on this album you can relate to.
