Video Premiere: KLÄMP ‘WET LEATHER’ – New Album ‘TOTAAL TECHNIEK’ Unleashes 18th April
Prepare to have your senses shattered – KLÄMP is back with WET LEATHER, a hallucinatory descent into heavy, experimental doomgaze chaos. This isn’t just a music video; it’s a mind-melting, synesthetic trip through distorted realities, where crushing riffs collide with hypnotic, noise-drenched textures.
Blurring the boundaries between dream and nightmare, WET LEATHER comes from their latest eight-track album, TOTAAL TECHNIEK. Over forty-five minutes, it engulfs you like a slow-motion free fall into the abyss, weaving a warped soundscape of industrial grind, shoegaze haze and doom-laden intensity.
Set for release on 18th April via Human Worth, with 10% of all proceeds donated to Compass Collective, this is not one to miss. Pre-sales for the limited gold vinyl begin today on Bandcamp – don’t wait on this as once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Now, all that’s left is to turn off the lights, crank up the volume and let KLÄMP pull you through the neon static. Are you ready…
More On KLÄMP & ‘TOTAAL TECHNIEK’
KLÄMP is a formidable musical collective with members scattered across the UK and the Netherlands. This group, now comprising seven members, has its roots in a trio that expanded over the past four years. The current lineup includes both current and former members of notable bands such as IDLES, Sex Swing, Tall Ships, Manatees, Do Me Bad Things, Pulled Apart By Horses, Petbrick and Mugstar. This diverse musical heritage infuses KLÄMP’s sound with a rich mix of influences and sounds.
Since their raw and antagonistic 2020 release Hate You on God Unknown, KLÄMP has undergone a significant transformation. The 2025 incarnation of the band presents a vastly evolved force. Their latest album, TOTAAL TECHNIEK, released on 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, characterised by an innovative sound and intricate musical textures.
A key aspect of KLÄMP’s evolution has been their ever-expanding roster of collaborators. The original lineup of Jason Stoll (Sex Swing/Twin Sister/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.
KLÄMP’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 KLÄMP’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 KLÄMP’s diverse musical universe.
In essence, KLÄMP 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.
Brighton based charitable label Human Worth have pressed up a limited edition of ‘TOTAAL GOLD’ vinyl, 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.
