The latest LP from the Indiana-based songwriter and Hoops member arrives in early 2020 on Bayonet Records (Beach Fossils, Frankie Cosmos). Krauter (who’s been touring with Hovvdy and Caroline Says) tells that the songs find inspiration in his religious upbringing and more recent navigations of self.
Indiana musician Kevin Krauter tackles complicated emotional states and ideas through elliptical songwriting that is at once poetic and truthful. “A lot of the lyrics touch on how I was raised religiously, touch on me understanding my sexuality more and more in recent years,” Krauter says, “just growing up and becoming more confident in myself…that process of looking inward and taking stock of myself.” It’s not especially uncommon for artists to probe deep into their own psyche to uncover what makes them tic, but Krauter’s light touch feels like something all his own.
