U.K. post-punk and dark rock act Klammer has unveiled a new single as a prelude to the band’s upcoming fourth album. “Broken Dreams in a Crashing Car” further solidifies the Leeds-based quartet’s sound with brooding and sardonic ambience offset by melodies that strike somewhere between the grating edginess of Killing Joke and the saccharine melody of Gang of Four; meanwhile, the disconcerting black & white video accentuates the song’s grim and gritty atmosphere with the band adorned in clown makeup, the vocals mimed by a wooden puppet. Released today, November 19, via Heavy Metal Records (an imprint of Revolver Records), “Broken Dreams in a Crashing Car” is the first taste of The Day Before Yesterday, which follows Klammer’s 2018 You Have Been Processed record, and is due to arrive in February of 2022.
