Klaus and the dark side of NYC’s electro

Klaus – a synth duo that will be able to tell their children (if any) that they played legendary Glasslands twice on the last month of its existence – brings back the sound of the darkest new wave of the ’80s, quoting the lugubrious atmospheres of Joy Division, but adorning them wth fluid analog synth orchestrations and sudden chorus openings. The band has actually been active for about three years, but they have been getting some buzz recently thanks to a series of electronic shows organized by Popgun, where they shared the stage with TR/ST, Beacon, and Eleven Pond among others. Check out this video for single "Chump," unveiled in 2013.
