New album 'Spagat der Liebe' is available on May 6, 2016.

Klaus Johann Grobe continue to avoid easy classification with Spagat der Liebe, the follow-up to their mind-scrambling 2013 debut album Im Sinne der Zeit. Said debut was an easy to love, but hard to pin down fusion of krautrock, disco, Tropicalia, post-punk and experimental music that garnered rave reviews both in the USA & abroad. In between numerous European festival tours & opening slots for Temples, Moon Duo & the Growlers, the band holed up in their Swiss studio compound to record Spagat der Liebe in the autumn of 2015. The sinister, late-night grooves present of their debut have been tempered a bit, in favor of somewhat sunnier dispositions, calling to mind an ecstatic party somewhere in sunny Ibiza. The albums title translates to balancing act of love & many of the tunes on Spagat der Liebe feel like love songs, either to a significant other, a mood, a feeling, or the dance floor - whichever you choose. The overall vibe of the album acknowledges the tenuous push & pull love can have on a person, not unlike the way a great DJ can make you feel ecstasy & romance all under an umbrella of glittering lights. Tunes like album opener Ein Guter Tag & first single Wo Sind feel like a warm up, preparing the listener for the four-on-the-floor propulsion of Rosen des Abschieds - a song tailor-made to sweat to. Elsewhere the fragile Heut Abend nur (Tonight Only) & the synth-tickled Ohne Mich - which is closest the bandhas come to an honest to goodness pop tune - guides the listener by the hand towards floor fillers like Geschichten aus erster Hand and the absolutely DEVASTATING groove of Liebe am Strand, which is anchored by a rubbery bass groove & a killer flute solo that takes it over the event horizon. Spagat der Liebe finds the band continuing to challenge listeners expectations, eschewing overt stylistic tropes in favor of a feeling; keepinglove, passion, ecstacy, melancholy, desire & affection in a nimble balance. Spagat der Liebe is issued on compact disc & vinyl, with full-color inner sleeve (with lyrics) & artwork co-designed by band member Sevi Landolt.
