Se por ventura você ainda não ouviu falar da gravadora sueca, Luxury Records, um conselho, reserve um espaço em seu precioso tempo e descubra algumas maravilhas, como Agent Bla, Makthaverskan, Alpaca Sports entre outros. O selo é especializado em um certo pós punk mesclado com shoegaze com traços de indie pop.
Dentre toda essa fértil cena, o novo destaque é o quinteto Klass II, que debutou há pouco mais de um mês com seu primeiro disco homônimo, que aliás, esta esgotado, vejam só, esgotado em sua edição física, o que nos diz que existe consumidor para este tipo de música. Os caras, pairam entre os três nichos sonoros nos quais a gravadora concentra suas forças.
O Klass II é sem dúvida, uma das belas revelações deste ano.
***** Interview with Klass II *****
Q. When did Klass II begin? Tell us about the history...
About a year ago, in April 2017, the infamous Gothenburg night club Jazzhuset closed after running for 40 years. On the very last night the club was open Alex (vocals/guitars) and Göran (drums) stood in the bar discussing starting a band while sharing a bottle of Fernet. Some drunken text messages were sent to the other future members of KLASS II and a couple of weeks later we found ourselves in the rehearsal space.
Q: Who are your influences?
Our friends and families and each and every good band that ever was.
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
Truth to be told, we can’t agree. We’re five people.
Q. How do you feel playing live?
Soft as snow (but warm inside).
Q. How would you describe Klass II´s sounds?
A random mix of subgenres descending from pop, punk, rock etc. With some kind of shoegaze aspiration.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
All nine songs were written, recorded and produced within a couple of months. We sent one of our demos to Swedish indie label Luxury Records and they wanted to release a record so we had no other choice then to speed up the process. Alex did most of the work himself from his living room, and we’re quite happy with the DIY feeling of the record.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
KLASS II
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Roxette or ABBA, for sure.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
We will keep drinking beers in our rehearsal room, hoping people will like our music when we occasionally play it live.
Q: Any parting words?
Tack så mycket för visat intresse
