Why do we like this?

I tell you, the folks running the L.A.-based record label Mind of a Genius are geniuses themselves. They brought us ZHU, Galant, and now their latest project is this Dutch producer, singer and songwriter called Klangstof. 

Klangstof offers up Radionhead's OK Computer as a seminal influence on his music. Sounds right, especially when you hear the second half of this track.

Mid way through and it pauses slightly, as if to tease, before adding a more electro sound. Then synths get layered on top of that before finally the build ramps up to a full-out and intense rock sound. 

I find this track refrained, skilled, wickedly confident and a total joy. I can't wait for what's next.

By Jason Grishkoff on May 10, 2016 | I've been a long time supporter of Northern California band Trails And Ways, so hearing something new out of their camp naturally settles quite well on my ears.

By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 22, 2011 | More frequent patrons may be noting that I've been featuring a number of look-back tracks lately.
