About
Present Paradox, the music project by David Kleinekottmann from Dortmund, explores of the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
Early on, former Cocteau Twins bassist Simon Raymonde expressed his enthusiasm on British radio: "That's an exciting sound David is making!"*. And Thoralf Koß, editor-in-chief of Musikreviews.de, attests to Present Paradox's fine "feel for addictive melodies and poetic lyrics "*.
In 2016, David Kleinekottmann began bringing the sound of the Present Paradox music to the stage. Equipped with keyboard, guitar, sampler and a varied set, always ready to give his all on stage and sink into the songs. The German concert critic Captain's Dinner wrote about the last performance shortly before the outbreak of the 2020 pandemic: "A project that undoubtedly has international class and definitely deserves more attention"***.

Present Paradoxs sixth album brings you the spring
>>This is the rhythm of spring, sometimes noisey sometimes quiet, always close to me<<
My sixth release describes spring as metaphor of overcoming the dark side and feeling energy, flirt, amorousness and positiveness in life. Over the span of six songs I send you on a journey from dizzy drum grooves to soft guitar notes. From fast piano arpeggios to slowly fading vocal-loops.
To me the album feels like small but natural evolution of previously explored directions. More focused on rhythm and percussive sounds this time, looped-focoused but still with a strong human touch (every song contains an acoustic-guitar or piano).
Genre: Art-Rock, Electronica, Singer-Songwriter
Sounds like: Radiohead - The King of Limbs / Fink - Resurgam /
"This is arguably the most impressive release from Present Paradox. The songs reflect a spectrum of emotion." Matt Jensen, divideandconquermusic.com
>There's this light, airy quality to Present Paradox's music, somewhat akin to vintage Talk Talk, that manages to sound both psychedelic and emotive. This sings to my soul, as it likely will for anyone that thinks a lot, may be prone to bouts of melancholy, but also sees the brightness and positivity in life.<
