The new single “Compendium/Consortium” from KLEN, a band based in Penryn, UK, showcases a throwback garage-rock fervency with quivering vocal theatrics and nostalgic guitar swipes. Self-dubbed “freakbeat beatniks,” KLEN blends punk, garage, and ’60s UK freakbeat with stylish vigor, creating a thematic aim described as “a real-time narrative of a satirical fantasy board meeting at a multinational conglomerate.” Decisive guitar movements and commanding vocal presence complement the track, which evolves into an otherworldly vocal murmur and synth-y intrigue before launching into a title-referencing vocal affirmation. Praised for their memorable live performances, KLEN is a talented project poised for a quick ascent. Check it out here:
