Klaus Johann Grobe return symmetrically

Exciting news indeed! We found it on the homepage of our favourite post-Krautrock-groovers Klaus Johann Grobe. “We’re happy to announce our new record “du bist so symmetrisch”,” it says, “it will be out on October 26 via Trouble in Mind Records.” Few Swiss bands in recent years have enjoyed more attention from music publications in the English-speaking world than Klaus Johann Grobe.

Here’s the Quietus: “Klaus Johann Grobe crafts organically-created kosmische grooves that put a fresh spin on the ground-breaking sounds that came out of West Germany in the 1970s, an era that saw a canon of seminal releases by Can, Cluster and Faust amongst others.”
Brooklyn Vegan: “What really gets you first is the rhythm section, sometimes laying down a heavy motorik groove, sometimes funky, like if Can had jammed with Os Mutantes… and Stereolab owned the only bootleg.”
The UK-based psychedelic magazine Shindig likes them, too: „Swiss duo, Klaus Johann Grobe, play a kind of danceable Krautrock informed by early ’80’s New York punk funk pioneers such as ESG……“.

On their third album, “Du Bist So Symmetrisch”, Sevi Landolt and Dani Bachmann have placed more emphasis on viciously catchy choruses and seriously danceable rhythms. It’s a cracker, of course. To celebrate the release, the band will go on a European tour in November, taking in UK, France, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium.
