JORDAN KLASSEN CD RELEASE W/ BOREAL SONS & LEISURE SUIT

Jordan Klassen

Jordan Klassen makes music built out of pure imagination. A truly alluring voice, laid upon beds of shimmering strings, caressed guitar, and coaxing percussion. His latest work takes such a foundation, and continues to build.

Kindness, a 4 song EP, introduces rich and full-bodied singing alongside his now ubiquitous falsetto. The first single from the EP, "Go To Me" provides a glimpse as to what his upcoming LP might sound like. The song has been critically celebrated, with ChippedHip.com calling it a "cinematic pop rocker" and Holeytonal dubbing it a "gracefully dramatic little masterpiece."

It has been over a year since his 2010 release, the subdued St. Brigid EP. The spring centered album was the second in Klassen's chronicling of the seasons, the first being Tempest and Winter, an album which put him on the map with appearances at Calgary Folk Music Festival and Rifflandia, along with a live performance on CBC Radio 1 and extensive airplay on CBC Radio 2.

After 4 years spent in Calgary where he established himself as an emerging artist, Klassen returned to British Columbia in 2010, settling into his hometown of Vancouver. The return to the west coast allowed for the fruitful collaboration with Jonathan Anderson (Aidan Knight, In Medias Res) at Buena Vista Audio where Jordan Klassen's new material has taken shape.
