Kramies
Encyclopedia
Kramies is a Dutch/American singer-songwiter and recording artist based in Colorado, USA. Kramies' style is haunting and romantic, with an aura of dreams and fairy tales, striking a balance between whimsy and melancholia. His unique vocal style has been described as eerie and soothing. Kramies has two titles available on ACM records (see discography below), both co-produced by Todd Tobias
(Robert Pollard
, Guided by Voices
).

is the fact that he can actually sing. While most indie/experimental artists drown themselves out in a sea of lo-fi,
Kramies' vocal presence is stellar. "Castle of Ghosts" is a great example of this, and a perfect first impression
for people who are unfamiliar with this talented musician."

Reaction
"Perhaps the best thing about Kramies' music, aside from its ability to create an otherworldly escape for the listener,is the fact that he can actually sing. While most indie/experimental artists drown themselves out in a sea of lo-fi,
Kramies' vocal presence is stellar. "Castle of Ghosts" is a great example of this, and a perfect first impression
for people who are unfamiliar with this talented musician."
