<img class="alignleft" title="Kramies - 'Coal Miners Executive Club'" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/coalminers_LRG.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="167" />Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of new single ‘<a href="http://hsrlink.me/kramiescoalminers">Coal Miners Executive Club</a>’ by Dutch-American singer-songwriter <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/kramies/">Kramies</a>, taken from his forthcoming EP <em>The European</em>.

Fusing masterful songwriting with electronics and atmospherics, ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop that simply demands repeat listens. Built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, the song is carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build, Kramies’ voice all the while intoning a timeless melody.

‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is available for <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=51&amp;products_id=185">free download</a> from the <a href="http://store.hiddenshoal.com">Hidden Shoal Store</a>. It is taken from the forthcoming EP <em>The European</em>, produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and featuring guitarist David Paolucci. The EP is released on 22 November in digital format as well as a numbered limited edition of 100 CD postcards.
