Kllo Announce Upcoming World Tour
KLLO ANNOUNCE UPCOMING WORLD TOUR
Today Kllo announce an exciting new world tour, their first run of headline shows this year. The tour will see them play the tracks fans have come to know and love, as well as a sneak peek at new material from Kllo from their forthcoming sophomore album (set for release in 2020).After releasing their critically-acclaimed debut album Backwater in 2017 (a record which saw them receive global praise from the likes of Pitchfork and the New York Times), Kllo embarked on an expansive world tour, selling out shows across the globe. Always dynamic on the live front, these seasoned performers are primed for another opportunity to deliver their energetic show to growing legion of supporters.
A collaboration between Melbourne cousins Chloe Kaul and Simon Lam, Kllo first emerged in 2014 with a sound well beyond their years, fusing elements of electro-pop, R&B, U.K. garage and 2-step with modern sensibilities and wide-eyed sincerity.The duo’s first two EPs, Cusp and Well Worn, have amassed millions of streams, making them a fixture on festival stages across the globe. 2017 brought Kllo’s full-length debut, Backwater, a refined, coming-of-age account. The album depicts inner adjustment to outer change: being far from home, treading through uncharted territory while yearning for the comforts of the familiar.

Praise for Kllo‘a sterling new single Kaul has an oozy, aspirated voice, and smears it tactfully atop Lam’s euphoric, quick-stepping production, which bridges fiery garage and joyous disco.’ – The New York Times‘It’s like a sonic boom. Heavy bass blasts find a home next to frantic dance beats and Kaul’s cooing, serene vocal delivery.’ – Stereogum ‘a portrait of quiet devastation, the kind you experience firsthand but can’t seem to stop.’ – Consequence of Sound‘feels like having ascended a ladder to a particularly gorgeous vantage point, and enjoying the journey on the way there, too.’– Pitchfork‘the aura of inherent mystery and the feeling of waking from a hazy dream.’ – High Snobiety
