Conceptual performance artist Kleaner is out with a new album. It’s nine gothic tracks of bass guitar and drum machine that channel painful scenarios such as being a fool for love, catching a lover red-handed, and fearing abandonment; the album seeks truth, liberation and healing similar to Kleaner’s last EP “First Ladies.” They recently told us in a spotlight that the album is inspired by post-9/11 surveillance culture and Black freedom, and how those ideas affect interpersonal or romantic relationships. Kleaner confronts fear through poetic conviction in “Alive With Pleasure.”
