I Am Kloot are an English band formed in Manchester, in 1999 by John Bramwell (guitar/vocals), Peter Jobson (bass) and Andy Hargreaves (drums), notable for their twisted, witty lyrics. History The band released their debut album, Natural History, in the UK in March 2001 on the Wall of Sound offshoot We Love You, followed by the I Am Kloot album in September 2003, on the Echo imprint. Echo had originally planned to release "Proof" as a single to promote the second album, but after agreeing artwork and a track listing (and commissioning a video featuring Christopher Eccleston, directed by Krishna Stott), the label shelved these ideas and subsequently issued the single as a download only (though a few copies were issued in Europe on the PIAS imprint). This action is commonly seen as the start of the dispute that would subsequently see the band leave the label.The band remained with Echo for their third LP
