Kramies ft Janson Lytle 'Everything The End' Video

While wandering through landscapes that have been deepened by antiquities & fables, Kramies spent time residing in the grounds of an old castle. There, over the weeks & within the castle walls, Kramies started the writings of what would become his newest gathering of songs titled “Of All The Places Been & Everything The End”.

Upon returning home, Kramies teamed up with producers Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Todd Tobias (Guided by Voices) & Jerry Becker of Train to create one of the most nostalgically powerful & emotional folklore journeys in Kramies' collection yet. Tipping the balance between eerie reflections and fairytale laden myths, “Of All The Places Been & Everything The End” finds you moving within a forest of imagination as the beautifully architected story ends leaving you enchanted and bewitched.

A prog and folk-influenced mini opus akin to Mercury Rev’s classic Deserter’s Songs, the EP covers more ground across its 23-minute run-time than many albums double its length. Given it was the site of the music’s gestation, it’s fitting that the eight-minute epic ‘Ireland’ is the EP’s swaying centrepiece. ‘Everything The End’ is an enchanting, unearthly tale of time and loss, coloured by melancholic optimism. And ‘The Hill Dweller’ brings the EP to a goosebump-raising conclusion with its sleigh bells and strings, as Kramies intones, “Now I’m home...”

Produced-by and featuring Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), "Everything The End" is a beautifully enchanting yet unearthly tale of time and loss, merged with optimistic imagination. Arriving hand in hand with a spellbinding animated video made by Mark Lohmann of Moon Moon Moon, you can listen and watch.

Described as “a beautiful, dream piece of songwriting” by Clash Magazine who premiered the track, “Everything The End" will feature on the US dream pop troubadour’s upcoming EP ‘Of All The Places Been & Everything The End’, which is due out on Hidden Shoal records on 19 October 2018.
