Six years have passed since their last longplayer "Du bist so symmetrisch" and their last Berlin show, and you can tell that they have come a long way. The brand new album "Io tu il loro" was written in two weeks in a hut at the end of a remote Swiss valley. Klaus Johann Grobe wrote the entire LP "Im Sinne der Zeit" in pretty much the same place in 2014. What began as another music-making session quickly turned into a record production. Once decided, the whole thing was completed quite quickly and recorded once again in David Langhard's Dala Studio at the end of 2022.
"Io tu il loro" is a record that cannot be made by endlessly playing around with hundreds of ideas and sounds. All it needed was a real break (Dani and Sevi didn't work on any rough stuff until they met in the mountains in 2022). It's an album with a blurred vision and soft boundaries. Somehow you can sense the pair looking back indulgently at their work and then moving on to what feels right.
So here we are with nine tracks of embracing warmth, so melancholically inviting you don't know whether to smile or cry. Some may call it timeless, some may call it dad rock.... well, it's certainly not disco for the masses, it's more like, "If I can't bring myself to dance after four beers, I might as well go home."
So, no disco? No syncopated synths? No German? No reverb? Where's the chunkiness?
Take your time, you'll realize that Klaus Johann Grobe haven't left, they've just taken a turn before heading to another unknown place.
