Kllo

Kllo, known previously as Klo, are an electronic pop duo inspired by 2-step garage and the wispier aspects of contemporary R&B. Based in Melbourne, Australia, collaborating cousins Chloe Kaul (vocals) and Simon Lam (production) debuted in 2014 with “Make Me Wonder,” a shadowy and restrained track playlisted by BBC Radio 1. The single led to Cusp, the duo’s first EP, released on Dot Dash in December 2014. Kllo subsequently joined the roster of PIAS subsidiary Different for their 2016 release Well Worn. In the U.S., the EP — which offered more cozy, tautly constructed ballads and intimate club tracks — was handled by Ghostly International. Beginning in July of the following year, a new single arrived monthly through October, when Kaul and Lam also issued Backwater, their debut album. ~ Andy Kellman
