Kelly No Brakes
Orchestrated pop-rock built around Klara Keller’s candid vocals
Based in Paris, France
Piano, pipe organ, bass and live drums carry compact pop songs dressed with orchestral flourishes. Keller sings in a direct, conversational register; the early live set centres the brisk debut singles while introducing material from the forthcoming EP.
