“Sending shivers down the spines of those lucky enough to catch them... consisting of three synth players and a drummer, this oddly assorted four-piece combine art school chic and electronic stoner, yet they’ve got mesmerizing groove, and dark and discordant experimentation over convulsing punk rock riffs down to a fine art... Synth-propelled drone-rock genius!”

KERRANG (The Superposition EP review. Single of The Week)

“Kling Klang echo the heavier edges of Kosmische Music, especially the transcendent simplicity of Neu!, the DIY inventions of Joe Meek, but also the romantic minimalism you find in the rich seam of northern working class synth music...Kling Klang take all these elements, and compress them into a kind of neutron star perfection, from which only two-note keyboard solos can escape...in other words, Kling Klang are fun.”

THE QUIETUS (The Esthetik Of Destruction LP review. Reissue of The Week)

“Kling Klang are three synth players and a drummer in thrall to kosmische, art rock, and making a racket... a heads-down, no-nonsense wall of Liverpudlians, whose droning krautrock creeps like bleep-riddled poison ivy.”

NME

“Three synthés and a battery...Electronic resistances and a type of ‘diode stoner’ which is always in the red, Kling Klang’s music is instantaneous until electrocution”
