Experimental electronic music producer
Klara Lewis constructs haunting, quasi-rhythmic pieces using field recordings, samples, and digital manipulation. Most of her releases, including 2014 debut
Ett and
Care, a 2018 collaboration with
Simon Fisher Turner, have appeared on respected Austrian label Editions Mego.
The daughter of
Wire bass player
Graham Lewis,
Klara grew up in Sweden and made tentative steps toward making music in 2009. She debuted with a self-released EP in 2012, filled with choppy, nearly industrial rhythms built from found sounds and effects. Two years later, all three of its tracks appeared as part of the Editions Mego album
Ett, which was quickly trailed by the four-track Msuic EP for
Peder Mannerfelt's eponymous label. Another album for Editions Mego,
Too, arrived in 2016. A pair of its tracks involved input from
Simon Fisher Turner. Remixes for
Carmen Villain and
Factory Floor were released in 2017, and a full-length collaboration with
Fisher Turner,
Care, appeared in 2018. "Ingrid," a 20-minute composition built around a single cello loop, was issued in 2020. ~ James Pearce & Andy Kellman
