    This is where the magic began for me, so to speak. I remember watching this video not long after it was posted and now I'm happy I got to see them live multiple times. It's crazy to think that they've just celebrated a decade of music together 🖤

    I wish Kælan mikla had an album with this music on it. It's Raw, Powerful and full of Emotion with punk . Not saying the songs on the album released are bad. Just like the simplicity of the instruments. No guitar and no synth. Thank you for giving us this.

      Surprised no-one has responded to you. The album "Manadans" is this stuff, kind of a demo album that they released after the first album. Its on iTunes. You might have to fact check what I've written; but, I have the album and it's good.

    • @Teletempo66
      @Teletempo66 Před 3 lety +1

      Rena, Thank you for the response. Yes at the time of my post iTunes did not have Manadans listed but since then I did find and get. Agree with you all the way what a great album I grab up everything I came from this band.
      Thanks again

      Being old enough, I detect the echoes of Enya throughout modern culture. This is a nicer example. The Feminine w/o a dictated pre-fab corporate image in tow, but instead a reference to a sensibility prior to the all-encompassing wisdom of modern Feminism. Yeah, the Pagan vibe is marketable, just no constructed, soft, lowest common denominator compression.

    KM are by some margin the most exciting new(ish) band I have come across for years. had the enormous privilege of seeng them earlier this year, pre-lockdown, and they were fabulous. Sold their own merchandise and was able to speak to all three. They were all so graceful, friendly and, let's be honest, absolutely gorgeous - and it was a joy to spend a few moments with them. They need and deserve to be massive but I hope they keep their open and natural natures when it happens. Natural stars and so very talented

    20 seconds on the video, I click Like. After 5 minutes I want to click the like button again. After 10 minutes, I really want to be able to click that "Like" more than once.
