Swedish singer-songwriter, and friend of Bon Iver, KLARA is back with a new single and live video.

Following on from spending time with Justin Vernon et al at the Eaux Claires festival, KLARA's latest release reveals a more pastoral side to her music compared to the cavernous, vocoder-laden "Falling".

"Playgroundhouse" is a string-laden beauty, enhanced by the Swede's gorgeous and folky vocal. Any thoughts of getting comfortable are banished by the guitar lines which nudge at the edges of the track, a darkness which contrasts against the angelic light of the wonderful harmonies.

Of the track, KLARA says "I wrote it in front of my house window. I guess I was imagining me meeting someone and even though I was taught to never to look for happiness in someone else it's still beautiful to dream of what you can build together".

"Playgroundhouse" is out now on Spotify, and via The Office Stereo.
