Released two months ago, but simply too good to overlook, a timelessly serene, soaring soulful debut release by the Los Angeles artist, one of love, lust, and loss, secrets, Hollywood dreams, Chateau Marmont Hotel-era tragedy, and a voice somewhere between Cat Stevens and Jeff Buckley. The title is described thus: “Glovemaker has become a kind of code for art making itself. A glove as a covering or mask that follows the contours of the life beneath it. Kramar reveals “He grew up in the Valley, forced to hide his Barbies from his father, so the closet was a gorgeous Spanish ranch house on a gilded cul-de-sac crawling with celebrities.” From opener to Hollywood Blvd to Euphemism, the stylish piano swagger of I’m A Slut, the slow, reflective Like A Lover, and the even more intimate Gay Angels, all the way to melancholy, trumpet-flecked closer No Man, it’s a gorgeous, simmering love letter to a time, a music and a place. A deliciously beautiful, delicate debut. Out on Secretly Canadian.
