KLOF Magazine is an Independent online music and culture magazine launched in 2004 by Alex Gallacher.[1]

Content

[edit]

KLOF Magazine primarily features writings on music as well as interviews with a wide range of notable artists and musicians.[2]

Their coverage is described as eclectic and non-mainstream and includes Folk music, jazz, Psychedelic music, world music, alternative, Experimental Music and avant-garde. [3]

Alongside interviews, the magazine also invites musicians to write guest articles, this includes a popular series called Off the Shelf, in which artists photograph and present objects from their homes and talk about them.[4]
