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.
