Comments: From the promoter: "Melbourne's Kllo (pronounced kll-OH) is the synth duo comprised of cousins Simon Lam and Chloe Kaul. The pair has played sold-out shows and festival slots throughout Australia, racked up millions of plays on Spotify, and landed on several Artists to Watch lists. Now they're about to chase a stack of buzzy pop singles with the next logical step: Well Worn, an EP that enhances Kllo's high-gloss hooks even further. Guided by the ghosts of UK garage and like-minded strains of underground dance music, 'Bolide' sets a skittish beat against a clipped chorus; 'Walls to Build' melds Lam's wobbly synth lines with Kaul's vapor-trailed verses; and the one-two punch of 'Sense' and 'On My Name' build a couple piano-laced ballads from a pillowy sound bed of laid-back loops and lovelorn melodies. Catchy, yes, but also compelling enough to leave us all longing for the pair's inevitable LP. RIYL: Yumi Zouma, SBTRKT, Kelela."
