Everlasting Pleasure

Klanguage “Never Over” – Is this song the beginning of the excitement, what you play on the way to the excitement, or the sum total of the excitement? Most likely the latter, because of course the journey is the most crucial portion of any adventure. The music is so crisp and perfect, but also sort of loose and seemingly simplistic, like the best cartoon art. The instrumental tones imply a bright palette of colors in fluid motion, a fully realized and highly stylized world inhabited by the charismatic and subtly sexy voice of the girlish singer.
