Melbourne garage and electro pop duo Kllo are Simon Lam and Chloe Kaul, two cousins whose music mixes romantic synth soul with relaxed dance floor beats. They started out like so many family bands do, being pressed to play in front of someone's slightly drunk adult friends. But unlike the rest of us, who put our musical aspirations away with the punch bowl at the end of the night, Simon and Chloe kept at it.

 

They first emerged in 2014 with a sound beyond their years; fully formed, fusing elements of R&B, UK garage, and 2-step with modern sensibilities and wide-eyed sincerity.
