Klawo (CNC014) by Klawo

"Klawo reaches into the old closet, but the one without skeletons. They are grandfathered by Herbie Hancock and fellow devotees of gruff 70's jazz. [...] This is music that has heard the acidish homerecording of Mac DeMarco and lo-fi beat tape producers”.
- Jędrzej Dudek [P.Unity]

The band Klawo debuted in May 2021 with a single titled "Wdzięczność" (“Gratitude”) while also joining the roster of artists released by the independent Gdynia-based label Coastline Northern Cuts.
The origins of Klawo go back to the second half of 2019, when Konstanty Kostka was invited to arrange his EP "Flądra" for a concert organized by Coastline Northern Cuts - without the use of a sampler but with a whole "live band" instead. After four months of experiments and first rehearsals it turned out that new arrangements and energy of each of the members gave "Flądra" a completely new groove, and the spontaneity based on jazz improvisation made the band play more and more to finally compose original material together.
