As the singer-songwriter in I Am Kloot, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010's The Sky At Night, a Top-10 chart position for 2013's Let It All In, numerous global tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014. Now, as a solo artist, he's travelling a very different path, his stunning 2024 album The Light Fantastic is almost a complete U-turn from his Kloot-days. Darker clouds have been banished, there are now strings and four-part harmonies and a dozen gloriously exhilarating, beautifully crafted observed songs about life, hamanity, the universe and everything else.
