### **UK indiepop duo KARAMELIEN set to release ‘Living With The Moon’ album, previewing latest single ‘Digital Imogen’**

_“This invigorating album presents soulful indie pop at its best. A breath of fresh
air that is rich on melody, its lyrics range from confessional to tongue-in-cheek
with Kaleido’s sublime vocals to smoothen this pleasureful ride. A captivating offering!”_
~ **The Spill Magazine**

_“Upbeat, a joyous folk-rock affair… bedecked in kaleidoscopic sixties sparkle, 
a slight splash of psychedelia and a whole tsunami of charm and grace” _~ **Big 
Takeover Magazine**

_“A hug of soulful indie pop with groove as infectious as its melodic breath and
lyrical smile is poetic… seductive captivation” _~ **Ringmaster Review**

_”A true work of beauty and professionalism, taking you to your very own ascension
heights” _~ **Amplify Music Magazine**

UK indie pop-rock duo [**Karamelien**](https://karamelien.bandcamp.com/) present
their debut album,[** ‘Living With The Moon’**](https://karamelien.bandcamp.com/album/living-with-the-moon-2),
a grounding 9-track offering that breaks from the typical songwriter mould, with
sonic offerings that draw inspiration from fuzzy Lo-fi, storytelling, trip hop, 
and reverb-drenched 1960s film soundtracks, with a greater emphasis on beats and
basslines.

Based in East Grinstead, Karamelien is singer-songwriter **[Léanie Kaleido](https://leaniekaleido.bandcamp.com/)**
and guitarist [**Mark Foster**](https://www.facebook.com/KaramelienBand/) – two 
long-time friends, whose music has forged an even stronger bond between them. This
Karamelien album follows the three albums that [**Léanie Kaleido**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Tzg1kd1hO8sUINlEPUJqk?si=iLQxSEa8RtSDdmivefv5nA)
released as a solo artist.

Léanie and Mark were joined by one of the UK’s leading bass players, **Lee Pomeroy(
ELO, Take That, Rick Wakeman, Yes)**, on most of the album’s tracks. However, the
song [**‘Ascension Heights’**](https://youtu.be/EbGN1qjBjJ0) features bassist **
Morris ‘Mo’ Pleasure (Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Ray Charles)**,
who graced the track with his funkadelic bassline.

Karamelien also present the video for [**‘Digital Imogen’**](https://karamelien.bandcamp.com/track/digital-imogen),
a feisty in tongue-in-cheek warning of the dangers of obsessing over own photos 
on social media, which was recorded and produced by **Ian Caple (Massive Attack,
Tricky, Mansun, Tindersticks, Vanessa Paradis)**, who was also EMI’s in-house engineer
back in the day.

**Mark Foster says**,** **“We wanted the guitars to sound pretty processed, and 
a little bit ugly – which I think we achieved! I was definitely channelling the 
spirit of Sonic Youth, J Mascis, and a host of other beautiful noise-niks on this
one”.

The duo earlier released the title track[** ‘Living With The Moon’**](https://youtu.be/rbeiD_QmOzc)
and **[‘Wait For Me’](https://youtu.be/_Lpn3i40KxM)** with piano, mixing and production
by [**Chris Mars **](https://chrismars.com/about)**(A Flock of Seagulls, Damian 
Wilson)**. Two other tracks were produced by **RIDE’s **[**Mark Gardener**](https://twitter.com/MarkGardener)
at **[OX4 Sound Studio](https://www.ox4sound.co.uk/) –** [**‘Lionhearts’**](https://youtu.be/XGP3xXO9AvQ)
and [**‘Ascension Heights’**](https://youtu.be/EbGN1qjBjJ0), which features a guitar
sample from Léanie’s late father [**Top Topham**](https://www.facebook.com/top.topham)(
original founding guitarist of** The Yardbirds**) and also involved **Paul Statham(
Dido, Simple Minds, Kylie Minogue).**

As of October 27, the ‘Living With The Moon’ album is available from fine digital
platforms, including[ **Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1elrvczndFHZhvhdEv7rBJ)**,
