Bio: Coming from the depths of the majestic, sweeping Alps and the lush meadows of the Rhine is the leader of the new wave of German pop music, the enthusiastic and ethereal group Klee.
The band took their name from the Swiss expressionist painter Paul Klee, finding his otherworldly and metaphysical imagery an inspiration to their uniquely ethereal pop sound. However, they also found the literal translation of the German word ‘klee’ (a clover flower) just as apt for their music in its elegant simple beauty.
No four leaf clover, Klee is a three-piece consisting of the subtle-yet-outstanding keyboard work of Sten Servaes, the charming, intelligent riffs of ice-cool guitarist Tom Deininger, and the honeysuckle-sweet vocals of the beautiful Suzie Kerstgens.
As the name of their latest album, Honeysuckle (the US title for Jelängerjelieber on Minty Fresh) is a fitting label as these twelve tracks echo the fragrant, balmy qualities of this bewitching flower; each song a microcosm of nostalgia and expectation sure to comfort even the most wounded soul.
Reminiscent of some of the finest recent European pop from Air to New Order but very much their own master, Klee plays a timeless electronica infused with trickling acoustic guitar parallels and crowned by Suzie's soothing, intimate voice.
Klee explore simple yet affecting melodies and, using their mother tongue, prove German to be both magical and romantic-especially when mining the subjects of love and loss. Discography:
