Kramies‘ sublime new dreamgaze single ‘The Wooden Heart’, taken from his forthcoming EP of the same name (October 17), has recently been receiving the kind of love a song like this deserves. First up the wonderful Mark Barton over at The Sunday Experience blog gave the track a glowing write up, then the fantastic Hey Reverb made the track one of their “Steal This” feature spots along with a beautiful review and last up for this little roundup the excellent French magazine Obskure recently wrote a lovely little pre-release review of the EP.
“Pressed upon celestial arcs that usher in distant memories of the mercurial melodic musings of slowdive and chapterhouse at their most fragile and angelic peaks, ’the wooden heart’ is wrapped longingly in snow bursting showers of dream dipped porcelain signatures so intricately woven, airless and frail that you fear they will shatter just by your closeness in earshot of them, a beautified aural apparition teased in yearning introspection and sweetly glazed in the kind of unworldly rapture that suggests its author is well versed in the songbook craft of the crimea and mirror mirror.” – The Sunday Experience
