KLANGLYS
With their new album “THE KEY TO BE,” the international sextet KLANGLYS from Denmark invites us to become aware of our wonderful inner strengths and perspectives. After dealing with life’s decisions and priorities in retrospect (in hindsight) on their debut album “IN HINDSIGHT,” they now turn to inner reflection and the certainty of different perspectives. It’s all about confidence! Confidence involves a view, a view of things, a prospect.
THE KEY TO BE—SECOND ALBUM RELEASE by KLANGLYS:
CONFIDENCE INVITES
Life is filled with stories and tales, both big and small. The future needs the past, and yet we often get caught up in the past and remain stuck there. We find it difficult to say goodbye and look freely toward the future.
KLANGLYS invites listeners to let go of the old and lift up the essence of what is possible. Klanglys’ music takes us on an adventurous journey, a hike over mountains, past forests and lakes, all the way to the sea.
Composer, songwriter, and KLANGLYS founder Johannes Käsbach has drawn on a wealth of different perspectives. The result is lyrics and music that touch the heart and look to the future with confidence, free from fear. Johannes Käsbach shows us the multi-layered vistas offered by the landscapes he depicts. It is as if he and KLANGLYS take us with them on their journeys of perspective, bringing their experiences and impressions of nature to life in auditory images. Snapshots that are burned into the sound material as if through a lens meet versatile thoughts and reflections that find a voice in Käsbach’s music. With one goal: to give listeners confidence, away from melancholy and the many worrying developments in the world.
Alternatively, the music gives listeners hope and strength to emphasize profound and positive human values in this adventure of life and also in this musical journey: finding oneself, cohesion, and openness to one another. This happens in a light and soothing way. The mountain plateau is thus climbed with joy. And from up there, you really do have a great view. It inspires you and gives you the courage to discover more panoramas and paths in life.
Of course, this journey through perspectives into confidence is also visible in the form of the album and its singles, which unite all colors in perspective.
“SUA CALMA” – YOUR CALM! the first single to be released, conveys the calmness of the blue sea. Klanglys takes listeners on a flight that gently lifts them to new heights. This piece contains many personal experiences and journeys by Johannes Käsbach to the sources of life.
The second single, “SKETCH2,” symbolizes new beginnings, joie de vivre, energy, and a fresh start, and is associated with descending from the summit of a mountain range in Japan at sunset and a pleasant feeling of solitude.
“DANCE OF THE STRUCK SAND” in yellow sand and green bushes describes the encounter with the Sertanejas in the northeast of the Brazilian desert and their dance, the Xaxado. It is the third single on the way to the album.
The white cloud cover is reflected in a morning run on the beach in the fourth single “INVOLUTED REBOUND” as the first rays of sunshine make their way through.
