French art-rock band Klone recently announced the release of their tenth full-length album, “The Unseen”, set for arrival on November 8 through Pelagic Records. Pre-order it here.
Today they have shared the title track of the album. Stream it below.
A bold new journey through a singular yet contrasting soundscape, “The Unseen”, is an immersive, dreamlike experience that pushes Klone’s already sumptuous sound to new, magisterial heights and speaks to the significance of things that at first glance seem to lack it.
Emotive and conceptual, Klone have once again broken new sonic ground and built further on their signature expansive sound. Since the release of “Le Grand Voyage” in 2019, Klone have risen to new heights across the globe, touring in Europe, the USA, Australia, and Mexico alongside the likes of Devin Townsend, Leprous, Riverside, Pain of Salvation, Gojira, and blowing away festival crowds at Hellfest 2024, Prog Power USA, Midsummer Prog, and Cruise to the Edge. Coming off the back of their phenomenal 2023 album “Meanwhile”, “The Unseen” is a masterpiece of both performance and production that sees Klone wearing their years of experience proudly on their sleeves.
With every member and every instrument pushed to its expressive limit, “The Unseen” has a might and intensity to it that, whilst sometimes abrasive, simultaneously feels natural, coherent, and unified as the band moves from motif and melody as one; guided as ever by the unmistakable voice and vision of Yann Ligner.
With such an inimitable 25 years of music already behind them, it seems apt that “The Unseen” is also Klone‘s tenth full-length release. The album serves as a milestone that uses reflections on the past as a means of appreciating the beauty of the present, with the band employing their shared decades of creativity and collaboration to offer enlightening new perspectives on the here and now.
