Clemm (NEW SONGS!)

About Me

A new myspace is like a clean room. Fresh. A new record is like a new start.
For Clemm's upcoming second full-length album Far From Arcadia, Willem Janssen has joined forces with Tom van Nuenen (guitar, backing vocals).
The record symbolises a fresh start for Clemm. After years of working with guest vocalists, Willem now came to embrace the sound of his own voice, which lead to the distinctive vocal style that can be heard on this record. Furthermore, one will notice that the new songs are more personal, urgent and lyrically direct and cover a wide range of styles like pop, electro, hiphop and indierock. With all that said, it still sounds like the perfectly natural follow-up to Clemm's dreamy debut album.

------ Dutch:
Een nieuwe myspace is als een opgeruimd huis. Lekker. Een nieuwe plaat is als een nieuw begin.
Op Clemm's binnenkort te verschijnen tweede album heeft Willem Janssen samengewerkt met Tom van Nuenen (gitaar, tweede stem).
Deze plaat betekent voor Clemm een frisse start. Na jaren met allerlei gastzangers gewerkt te hebben, heeft Willem zijn eigen stem leren waarderen, wat uiteindelijk heeft geleid tot de specifieke zangstijl die je op deze nieuwe plaat kan horen. Daarnaast zal het niemand ontgaan dat de nieuwe nummers persoonlijker, urgenter en tekstueel een stuk directer klinken. Samen vormen ze een logische mix van stijlen als pop, electro, hiphop en indierock. Ondanks deze accentverschuivingen, klinkt dit geheel als het logische vervolg op Clemm's dromerige debuutplaat. Op deze myspace vind je alvast enkele liedjes.
