Four years have passed since More Klementines’ eponymous debut album came out—or have they? “Hot Peace” is making me pleasantly dizzy. Then again, what else could one have expected from More Klementines? Michael Kiefer, Jon Schlesinger, and Steubs are back at it with Who Remembers Light, sounding like they’ve never not been at it.
Recorded on May 1st, 2019 as a radio session for Aire Libre 105.3 FM in Mexico City, all but one of the tracks are from their fifth album, 2019’s De Facto. 01052019 is unceasingly intense. A description that already fit the duo well, it does even more in this performance, with the band joined by Fernando Nuti, Andrea Davì and José Orozco.
With half of its four tracks being remixes from 2019’s De Facto — and the other two sounding like they actually were on it — Lorelle Meets The Obsolete’s Re-Facto, released in 2020, was intended as a companion piece EP to the former. The previously unreleased songs drive home the point that they are independent sisters who are even better together.
First Encounters is a journey from the very first second. The first track, “Evidence of New Gravitation,” starts off already walking, as if you had been following the sound through large corridors until finally reaching the right one and opening the right door to catch the exact right second of the Spiral Wave Nomads jamming.
