Having already made a name for herself, we sat down with the artist to find out more about her methods<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate Lloyd, better known as <strong>Kloyd<\/strong>, is one of the most important up-and-coming producers to hit the scene in recent times. Her sound, a complex yet easy listen, is filled with depth and cloud-touching moments that permeate the room. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024, the composer released her debut EP, <em><strong>Chapters<\/strong><\/em>, and later, <em><strong>Hourglass<\/strong><\/em>, featuring some of the most talented vocalists we\u2019ve heard in a while. These vibrant choices led to a series of extraordinary singles, including a remix project. Today, she releases her long-awaited third record, <strong><em>New Love<\/em><\/strong>. Following in the footsteps of an imaginative body of work, her celestial track record continues.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kloyd seems like an obvious choice for your artistic persona. Did you consider other pseudonyms?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHa yeah you know it\u2019s one of those that I have questioned keeping. My<br \/>friends have called me Kloyd as a nickname for years so when I started to<br \/>release music, I figured I would just roll with that. I\u2019ve floated different artist<br \/>name ideas and I find they\u2019re already in use or it\u2019s just too deep into the<br \/>project now to switch up. One thing I do like about it is that it\u2019s definitely an<br \/>alter ego to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your upcoming album, New Love, will be released on 26 June. What was<br \/>the guiding philosophy behind the project?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor a long time I was quite heartbroken and low prior to making this record. I<br \/>was struggling with feeling like I wasn\u2019t enough and that love was out of<br \/>reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, I started to shift my mindset and changed my negative lens.<br \/>Around the time I began writing New Love, I also met someone and found I<br \/>was opening up to love again, although with a lot of fear and hesitation. The<br \/>record is about the journey of that. It\u2019s still melancholic in places and weary in<br \/>parts, but it reflects when I started to feel a bit more open to beauty and<br \/>romance again which I hope provides some kind of light comfort to those who<br \/>are or have endured the same battles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When did production on the album begin, and how long was the overall process?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are fragments and track ideas that I\u2019d started maybe a year before<br \/>conception but it was properly born around two years ago. That\u2019s when I<br \/>had the title of it written down and knew what it was I was setting myself<br \/>out to make. It was a very all encompassing process. There\u2019s a lot of<br \/>tracks that didn\u2019t make the cut, especially in the earlier days of producing<br \/>it. I was still very much in this weird space between feeling low and then<br \/>feeling more positive in life so I had to be a bit ruthless with myself in terms<br \/>of not straying into the dark too much. Far From Us is one of those tracks<br \/>that I was making in the earlier days of New Love, which is definitely one of<br \/>the most melancholic, it has this sense of longing. It was around summer<br \/>last year that the final 8 tracks were solidified and I spent another few<br \/>months getting them to a place I felt happy with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pacing of every one of your tracks is incredible; it keeps listeners<br \/>engaged, and there\u2019s a sense of movement and journey within each track. Can you walk us through your blueprint for composing?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWow thank you that\u2019s such a nice compliment! I\u2019d probably say a lot of that<br \/>comes from the drum production which helps to create that movement.<br \/>Keeping it textured and fluid. I remember watching Rusko\u2019s producer<br \/>masterclass years ago and he said something about if you have the drums<br \/>grooving just completely on their own then that\u2019s a good tune already<br \/>which is something I have tried to embody into my own work. I play around<br \/>a lot with sound design so reversing stuff everywhere, foley grabs that<br \/>become percussive, all sorts just to send the music into an atmosphere<br \/>that makes it come alive. I think I have a tendency for a track to unfold compositionally as it goes on. I get carried away with it. It\u2019s like I approach each<br \/>one with an emotional message and then everything I lay down melodically<br \/>is what I\u2019m feeling in those moments. In Nothing Could\u2019ve Made Me, it just<br \/>suddenly switches up into that fairgroundish piano \/ flute part which was<br \/>me conveying this sense of freedom and fun and a big \u2018whatever\u2019 to the<br \/>people who had hurt me in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What part of your setup is non-negotiable, and why?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProbably my Nord, I\u2019ve grown to get so much out of it now in terms of<br \/>melodic sounds, they\u2019ve become kind of staple to my sound for now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;listType=playlist&amp;list=PLF1C20iV93JQ\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stream Kloyd\u2019s earlier work, including <em>Hourglass<\/em> and <em>Chapters<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Hourglass<\/em> feels sonically different from what we\u2019ve heard from <em>New<br \/>Love<\/em>. What changed between then and now? Was it inspiration or something else?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah a mixture of things. I think more so that I grew a bit more confident by<br \/>New Love in following my own intuition. I barely sent any of it out for<br \/>feedback until it was pretty much done and if anyone did give me<br \/>unsolicited feedback, I disregarded a lot of it \u2013 (not to be rude) I just wanted<br \/>to trust myself in what I was doing without any external input this time<br \/>round. I definitely leant into more of my wider influences too and kept the<br \/>production more so in the box. H\u00f8urglass still has some of that trip hop<br \/>feeling to it but I was also in a very different place when I made that EP. I<br \/>was looking at the world with a different lens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any limitations you face in the lab, and do they push you to be more creative?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor sure, I\u2019d say one is that I\u2019m not a singer and I like to incorporate vocals<br \/>in my work. So I\u2019m hearing all these ideas and I can\u2019t get them down<br \/>straight away which is probably why I sample a lot of vocals instead so I<br \/>quickly hear some form of a vocal in the track, which then often ends up<br \/>staying there as it kind of works. Same with playing guitar, I don\u2019t play one<br \/>but I use that sound all the time ha! I really wanted an amped guitar sound<br \/>and because I don\u2019t have an electric guitar or play one.. I manipulated my<br \/>Nord enough to try emulate the sound of one which ended up sounding not<br \/>much like one but also created a weird distortion that I was like ok, yeah<br \/>this is interesting. I ended up using that on a few of tracks on New Love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How late do you stay up perfecting a track, and which song gives you<br \/>sleepless nights?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot as late these days as I used to. I enjoy my sleep too<br \/>much! But yeah, I can lose many hours arranging tracks. Arranging is a<br \/>real head scratcher for me. Far From Us was probably the most head<br \/>scratcher one. The first drafts of it are very different to how I finished it, I<br \/>reworked that a few times. Was challenging to get it how I wanted it but I\u2019m<br \/>happy with how it turned out!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any instruments, plugins, or hardware that have changed the way you compose?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot to harp on about it but my Nord \u2013 this record was the first time I<br \/>experimented with it and pushed as much as I can get out of it. You can<br \/>manipulate sounds so much that are built into it, it\u2019s actually a great synth if<br \/>you want it to be! It helped me to keep compositional limitations so the<br \/>music sounded sonically on par. Also the prophet bass in the Arturia suite.<br \/>I can often start with just drums and when I add that bass, it automatically<br \/>grounds the tune into a direction I love. It\u2019s very subby and deep so any<br \/>melodic layers I start adding will usually start to feel light in contrast to<br \/>what\u2019s happening in the drums and bass.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your work is emotionally impactful, yet technically exact. How do you balance your sound to feel so complete?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, thank you! I think making music that feels honest and human is really<br \/>important to me, even though it\u2019s electronic. I try to channel as much of the<br \/>inward feelings I have into the music. With the production, I\u2019m not aiming<br \/>for perfection; it\u2019s raw and a bit odd in places, and that\u2019s intentional. I think<br \/>I\u2019m just making creative decisions that are bringing those emotions to life \u2013<br \/>but ensuring it still travels and feels like a song, holding its own narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How important is curating a tracklist to you, and how do you approach sequencing?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah, really important! The sentiment runs throughout New Love and the<br \/>opener and closer tell a story, but I\u2019d say it\u2019s not a track-by-track record<br \/>where it unravels as a direct journey, so to speak, but the arc within it is<br \/>definitely purposeful, which came together in ordering quite quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is your most trusted critic, and what\u2019s the best piece of advice they\u2019ve given you?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy mate Cal. He doesn\u2019t make much music but he could if he wanted to.<br \/>He\u2019s one of those people who\u2019s a natural creative and just gets it. He has<br \/>two! He says \u201cchurn them out like Calibre\u201d. We\u2019re both big fans of him and<br \/>his discography is extensive. And he also says \u201cthink like Ainsley Harriott\u201d.<br \/>Minimal ingredients.. so aiming to keep your sound sources simple!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve got a string of shows coming up. What can listeners expect from a<br \/>live Kloyd performance, and how do you prepare?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want the productions to feel alive and immersive. Live drums, vocals and<br \/>me. Preparation will be lots of rehearsals so I can be present at the shows<br \/>and calming myself if I can, I get nervous going on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stanisland.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composer Kloyd is on the rise with the release of her latest album, New Love.
