“Kelly Lee Owens’ debut album introduces the world to a fully formed aesthetic . . Not many debuts balance emotion and economy with such finesse.” — Pitchfork, #3 in Best Electronic Albums of 2017
“Kelly Lee Owens splices luscious Cocteau Twins–influenced hymns with passages of
four-on-the-floor hypnosis. The analogue sounds of bells and tabla give standouts like ‘Bird’ or ‘Arthur’
a homespun feel, and there’s plenty of structural and lyrical intrigue nestled within the album’s all-enveloping, pastel pulse.”
— The Atlantic, #9 in Best Albums of 2017
“KLO’s stunning debut is a beautifully immersive and enveloping take on all of our favorite things: emotional, floating electronic dream-pop and more propulsive and visceral dance music that pulses like an underwater heartbeat, seamlessly woven into something that feels both familiar and entirely new.”
— Gorilla vs. Bear, #2 in Favorite Albums of 2017
