Klangstof - firm faves of ours, who played our new music festival at the top of 2017 and then our stage at The Great Escape - are following up their marvellous debut LP Close Eyes To Exit.

The short-player's direction is dubbed "synthesizer heaven" by bandleader/frontman Koen Van De Wardt. "Everest" is an attempt at "A-ha style, '80s pop", apparently, while fellow tune "Resume" follows a more political bent, "Names" looks to the electronic world, and "The Lows Will Keep You High" shows off a soft side.

As well as the EP, Klangstof have announced a new London headline show at The Lexington on 21 November.
