The Return of Klaus Johann Grobe!

At last – a new sign of life from the sorely missed Klaus Johann Grobe! Their new album “Io tu il loro” is out now on Chicago-based boutique label Trouble In Mind (“specializing in rock, punk, post-punk, electronic, psych, indie and unconventional sounds from all over the world). Their first in six years, and the fourth in all, it is a much more direct affair than their previous work.

Meeting up in a cabin hidden away at the back of the Swiss mountains to re-connect after a lengthy period away from each other, within two weeks, Sevi Landolt and Daniel Bachmann had pretty much written an entire album. Given the speed and (initial) light-heartedness of this process of creation, it comes as no surprise that “Io tu il loro” sounds different to what’s been done before. Or, in the words of the press blurb: “So, no disco? No syncopated synths? No German? No reverb? Where’s the Grobe? – Take your time, you’ll notice Klaus Johann Grobe aren’t gone, they just took a turn before driving into another unknown.”
