Search - Klee :: Jelängerjelieber

The last two years have witnessed the staggering arrival of quite some bands with female charm. Cologne-based Klee can be rightly considered as pioneers of this exciting development. Since the mid-90s, Suzie Kerstgens, Tom Deininger and Sten Servaes have formed a close-knit team. As Klee they released the album Unverwundbar (?invulnerable?) an album that marked them as being addicted to romantic ideas and in love with melodies. On their new album Jelängerjelieber we see Klee focused even stronger on songs, clarity and transparency. With "Jelängerjelieber" (?verbatim? the longer, the better?) Klee spent several months in their studio in Cologne to create the assembled songs that were given final treatment at Conny Plank?s Studio (of Cluster fame). Klee?s album has a soothing effect for all emotional characters. The strong atmospheric "corset" which on the last album held together the songs has been peeled away to reveal a band related to the European legacy of Air, The Smiths, New Order, or Coldplay. Klee?s pop songs are not a matter of people?s age but character. Let?s call them the generation of all those young at heart!
