Across its thirteen tracks, the record<br \/>\npicks at feelings of powerlessness and the small ways we push back. Each song functions as<br \/>\n its own lyrical vignette; the band describe it as an album that \u201cpaints<br \/>\n a heavy picture with pastels\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n group is comprised of Ya\u00ebl Dekker (vocals), Winnie Conradi (guitar), Katja Kahana<br \/>\n(guitar), Marrit Meinema (bass), and Laurie Zantinge (drums). They began as a<br \/>\n creative and political outlet and have held onto a staunch DIY ethos<br \/>\never since. They write, record, release, and book their own shows, and<br \/>\nalso put on the annual Klitfest in the Netherlands. Their previous EPs, <em>Citrus<\/em> (2022) and <em>Butter<\/em><br \/>\n (2024), earned them slots alongside Otoboke Beaver and BODEGA, and<br \/>\ncemented their place in a Dutch indie surge that includes Personal<br \/>\nTrainer, Real Farmer, and Pip Blom.<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n Klittens will tour the UK this autumn, with dates running from 24<br \/>\nOctober through to 2 November. The run includes an as-yet-unannounced<br \/>\nEdinburgh show on 24 October, Nice N Sleazy in Glasgow (25 October),<br \/>\nCentral Bar in Gateshead (26 October), Fulford Arms in York (29<br \/>\nOctober), Wharf Chambers in Leeds (30 October), JT Soar Fest in<br \/>\nNottingham (31 October), Just Dropped In in Coventry (1 November) and a<br \/>\nLondon date at The George Tavern on 2 November.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Have A Heart<\/em> artwork<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"mb-8 \">\n<div class=\"relative \" style=\" padding-top: 100%\">\n            \n        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><em>Have A Heart <\/em> tracklist<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cHave A Heart\u201d<br \/>\u201cTaxi\u201d<br \/>\u201cInterlude I\u201d<br \/>\u201cZelda\u201d<br \/>\u201cNothing To Teach\u201d<br \/>\u201cTriple Threat\u201d<br \/>\u201cBank Account\u201d<br \/>\u201cInterlude II\u201d<br \/>\u201cBlue Hue: A Short Plea\u201d<br \/>\u201cBadlands\u201d<br \/>\u201cTheir House\u201d<br \/>\u201cFool Me Once\u201d<br \/>\u201cThe Frame: A Short Complaint\u201d<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelineofbestfit.com\/news\/the-klittens-share-new-single-taxi-ahead-of-debut-album\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTaxi\u201d is about drifting back into patterns that have long since stopped meaning anything.
