Human Worth are proud to present the killer new album from KLAMP, now featuring members of IDLES, Sex Swing, Tall Ships, Manatees, Do Me Bad Things, Pulled Apart By Horses, Petbrick and Mugstar, with a portion of all proceeds donated to charity.

KLAMP is a formidable musical collective with members scattered across the UK and the Netherlands. Since their raw and antagonistic 2020 release "Hate You" on God Unknown Records, KLAMP has undergone a significant transformation. The 2025 incarnation of the band presents a vastly evolved force. Their latest album, "TOTAAL TECHNIEK," released on Brighton based charitable Human Worth, is a testament to their artistic growth and exploration. The album traverses a broad range of genres, seamlessly blending elements of Krautrock, Breakcore, Industrial, and Post Punk. Each track is a new journey, characterized by an innovative sound and intricate musical textures.

A key aspect of KLAMP's evolution has been their ever-expanding roster of collaborators. The original lineup of Jason Stoll (Sex Swing / Mugstar / JAAW), Lee Vincent (Pulled Apart by Horses) and Greg Wynne (Manatees) have been joined by Adam Devonshire (IDLES), Matthew Parker (Tall Ships), Rachael Morrison and Wayne Adams (Petbrick / Big Lad) along with other collaborators, helping to develop the sound into a new space both beautiful and bleak, harsh and euphoric – sometimes all at once. This openness to collaboration has infused their music with fresh ideas and new energy, ensuring that no two performances or recordings are ever the same. Their live shows are particularly notable for their intensity and unpredictability, offering audiences a mind-bending lesson in musical exploration and emotional depth.

KLAMP's music is a haven for fans of eclectic and avant-garde sounds. Listeners who appreciate the sonic intensity and experimentation of Swans, the sharp, angular rhythms of Parquet Courts, the post-punk edge of The Fall, and the genre-defying beats of DJ Screw will find much to love. Similarly, those drawn to the lush soundscapes of My Bloody Valentine, the industrial grit of Einstürzende Neubauten, and the atmospheric depth of Low will resonate with KLAMP's work. The cinematic influences of John Carpenter and David Lynch, combined with the raw power of Nine Inch Nails and Sonic Youth, the electronic pulse of Front 242, the minimalist punk of Wire, and the epic crescendos of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, all find a place within KLAMP's diverse musical universe.

In essence, KLAMP is not just a band but a continually evolving collective that pushes the boundaries of music. Their journey from a three-piece to an innovative seven-piece ensemble, making them one of the most exciting and unpredictable acts on the scene today.

Human Worth have pressed up a limited edition of ‘TOTAAL GOLD’ vinyl, with a limited with 10% of all proceeds donated to Compass Collective – a charity supporting the integration of young refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK through the arts.
