NEW SINGLE ADULT PROPER OUT NOW – Featuring noise, electronics, repetition and fragmentation, TOTAAL TECHNIEK departs from the band’s earlier format

KLAMP’s second full-length, TOTAAL TECHNIEK, arrives five years after Hate You, released through God Unknown during the tail end of 2020. In the interim, the group has shifted from a stripped-down trio into something more unstable and elastic—currently a seven-piece, though the recording credits stretch further. The album is out now via Human Worth, a label known for issuing limited-run vinyl tied to charitable donations. This release follows the same model: 250 copies pressed on gold vinyl, with 10% of proceeds going to Compass Collective, an organisation working with displaced people and asylum seekers through arts programmes in the UK.
