Klaus Johann Grobe

Klaus Johann Grobe is a Swiss band known for its spellbinding blend of retro-inspired krautrock and funk-infused electronica. The group was initially formed as a duo in 2010 by Sevi Landolt (organs/synthesizers) and Daniel Bachmann (drums/vocals), who began their musical journey by channelling the spirit of experimental German rock from the 1970s, yet incorporating a modern twist that feels both fresh and dance-inducing. As they continued their collaborative effort, the Basel-based ensemble charmed the indie music scene with their unique sound that smoothly navigates through psychedelic grooves, disco beats, and catchy melodies sung in their native tongue, showcasing their penchant for both innovation and nostalgia.

Rising to recognition with their thought-provoking lyrics and entrancing live performances, Klaus Johann Grobe released their critically acclaimed debut album "Im Sinne der Zeit" in 2014, cementing their place in the modern psych-rock renaissance. Following this, they carved out a distinctive niche with albums and singles such as "Spagat der Liebe" (2016), and "Du bist so symmetrisch" (2018), both of which demonstrate their ability to push boundaries while maintaining a coherent sonic identity. Their music, including recent releases like "Downtown" and "Out of Reach," continues to attract a dedicated following, drawn to the band's style that genuinely defies any single-genre classification and instead invites listeners into a multilayered, immersive auditory experience.
