Klergy – Awaken

“Like music that’s designed to go over the dramatic ending of a television episode.”

Tim: Annoyingly, I can find out absolutely nothing about this group (or perhaps even just singer); nonetheless, I’m very keen on this.

Tom: …why?

Tim: Well, it starts out quiet, grows into what can be described as a ‘haunting melody’, before culminating in what is a very powerful chorus. It reminds me quite a bit of The Cardigans’s Erase/Rewind, melodically and, now the comparison’s drawn, somewhat stylistically as well, but then that’s a great song to be taking cues from, and there’s more than enough originality here to stop me thinking “now hang on a minute…”.

Tom: This seems more like music that’s designed to go over the dramatic ending of a television episode. I mean, sure, it’s a song, but I’m not even sure it qualifies as pop music.

Tim: Hmm, maybe. It’s not, admittedly, a song I’d listen to over and over again like I would yesterday’s track, but it’s still a lovely piece of of music, which is just what I need sometimes.
