French art rock band Klone have shared "Magnetic," the latest single from their forthcoming full-length album, The Unseen, set for release on November 8 through Berlin's Pelagic Records. Pre-order it here.
A bold new journey through a singular yet contrasting soundscape, The Unseen is an immersive, dreamlike experience that pushes Klone's already sumptuous sound to new, magisterial heights and speaks to the significance of things that at first glance seem to lack it.
"Magnetic" is out now. Listen below.
Emotive and conceptual, Klone have once again broken new sonic ground and built further on their signature expansive sound. Since the release of Le Grand Voyagein 2019, Klone have risen to new heights across the globe, touring in Europe, USA, Australia, and Mexico alongside the likes of Devin Townsend, Leprous, Riverside, Pain of Salvation, Gojira, and blowing away festival crowds at Hellfest 2024, Prog Power USA, Midsummer Prog, and Cruise to the Edge. Coming off the back of their phenomenal album Meanwhile, which was released in 2023, The Unseen is a masterpiece of both performance and production that sees Klone wearing their years of experience proudly on their sleeves.
With every member and every instrument pushed to its expressive limit, The Unseen has a might and intensity to it that, whilst sometimes abrasive, simultaneously feels natural, coherent and unified as the band move from motif and melody as one; guided as ever by the unmistakable voice and vision of Yann Ligner.
"Magnetic," the third single taken from The Unseen, is a defiant and direct ode to love. The track's comparatively simple, yet undeniably effective structure sees the five-piece blend pounding drums and acoustic guitar warmth with soaring euphoric melodies and Ligner's powerful lyrics to reach a fist-pumping, pulse-racing crescendo.
With such an inimitable 25 years of music already behind them, it seems apt that The Unseen is also Klone's tenth full-length release. The album serves as a milestone that uses reflections on the past as a means of appreciating the beauty of the present, with the band employing their shared decades of creativity and collaboration to offer enlightening new perspectives on the here and now.
About "Magnetic," Yann Ligner says, "This track’s strength lies in its simplicity. Its simple structure gets straight to the point and offers a breath of fresh air. It is an honest, joyous and rebellious ode to love."
The Unseen will be released on November 8.
