De Kleer, Martijn ??? The Stranger It Gets, Part 1 {self-released}

Here???s some soft acoustic folk & indie rock from Martijn De Kleer???s solo efforts & lost tapes circa 1991 ??? 1995.?? De Kleer currently plays with Edward Ka-Spel in the Legendary Pink Dots as well as The Tear Garden.?? The Stranger It Gets is not too far off from a Bonnie Prince Billy venture.?? De Kleer???s halcyon guitar strums & plucks show his tactile versatility & ear for pleasant melody.?? He also knows how to throw in a Dirty Three style rock ditty & close things out with a weird found sound collage trip.?? His lead vocals are well sung & reflective and he seems to be right at home (literally) recording his various instrumentations onto a teensy 4 track cassette recorder.?? Very nice stuff
