Arthur Clees

Arthur Clees is a new and fast-rising talent who emerges from Luxembourg with an intriguingly hypnotic take on minimalism that makes use of his prodigious skills on drums, with percussion and his own voice. At just 21, he already has skills and ideas beyond his years as he shows on his debut album, 'Stay, Temporary Home.' It draws influences from the worlds of techno, electronica and avant-garde world and is rich in distinctive melodies and emotional moods. At times it is all about the beauty of quietness and emptiness on tracks like 'Of Silence' and at others, there are refracted fragments of vocal on the likes of 'Afterdance' which recalls James Blake. A truly absorbing album of electronic artistry. - Juno Records UK
