Kelman - I Felt My Sad Heart Soar

Kelman are a London-based 3 piece consisting of  Wayne Gooderham - (guitar/vocals), Marc Gooderham (drums) and Paul Ragsdale (keyboards). The new album is a follow up to Kelman's self-produced/released debut of 2006, Loneliness Has Kept Us Alive, which received airplay on Radio 1 (Huw Stephens) and XFM (John Kennedy) and was very well received by the press. In 2007 Kelman were asked by Rare Victory Records to contribute a song to a Grant McLennan tribute album, Love Goes On!, and it was through recording their version of the Go Betweens' Apology Accepted (currently streaming on their Myspace site) that Kelman stumbled upon the sound they wanted to achieve on future releases: rawer, more representative of their live sound, yet keeping the warmth and intimacy of the band's early singles and debut album. This is the sound Kelman have achieved on I Felt My Sad Heart Soar and is a natural progression from their debut album. Kelman play about once a month in London and have the following gigs booked (including 2 in Paris): August 14th – Despite The Amputations @ The Albany, Great Portland St, London. Sept – Rough Trade in-store. October 4th – RoTa @ The Notting Hill Arts Club, 11th October. Le Zobra, Paris, 12th October. The Union Bar, Paris. Kelman will be releasing a track from the album on the last Friday of each month from August to October as part of Shifty Disco’s Download Club. “Part Go-Betweens, part Galaxy 500, part Tindersticks. Lovely stuff!” Rough Trade / “Melancholic dream popsters” Time Out / “Reminiscent of Tindersticks’ kitchen-sink dramas, or Arab Strap in their less tawdry moments” Indie MP3 / “Seductive drone rock" Soundsxp / "Measured, elegant, smokingly soulful and majestic." Losing Today “
