Optimo’s favorite Finnish Kraut rockers, K-X-P, are soon to drop their self-titled debut album on cult label Smalltown Supersound. Led by Timo Kaukolampi, who is perhaps best known as the producer who helped steer Annie to electro-pop stardom, the trio push a heavily percussive sound, that is driving and on occasion funky, but usually ice cool.
After being invited to play the last Optimo party, and featuring in lasy years JD Twich Synth mix, the band have gained a considerable cult following with their teutonic rhythms and other-worldy, vibe. So other-worldy, that they seem to be sans myspace. How very modern.
Excited? Yes, we are.
