Our Take

Klaatu's self-titled debut album is a bizarre and mysterious journey through the outer reaches of the galaxy. With its ethereal vocals, spacey synths, and otherworldly production, Klaatu transports listeners to a world where anything is possible. From the hauntingly beautiful "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" to the epic "California Jam," this album is a true masterpiece of progressive rock.

Hope is Klaatu's ambitious follow-up to their debut, and it does not disappoint. With its introspective lyrics, soaring melodies, and intricate arrangements, Hope is a testament to the band's musical prowess. Tracks like "We're Off You Know" and "Madman" showcase Klaatu's ability to blend elements of pop, rock, and prog into a seamless and captivating listening experience.

In conclusion, Klaatu/Hope is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their sonic horizons. With its unique sound and undeniable charm, Klaatu proves that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let Klaatu take you on a journey through the cosmos. You won't be disappointed. Trust us.

About the artist

Klaatu

KLAATU, the enigmatic musical collective hailing from the great white north of Canada, burst onto the scene in the 1970s with a sound that mixed equal parts progressive rock, pop sensibility, and a touch of otherworldly mystery. Rumours swirled that they were secretly the Beatles reunited or even aliens from another planet (spoiler alert: they were neither). Led by the enigmatic vocals of Sir Army Suit, KLAATU's self-titled debut album sent shockwaves through the industry with its lush melodies, intricate arrangements, and soaring harmonies that could make even the most stoic listener shed a tear. Their follow-up albums, "Hope" and "Sir Army Suit," continued to showcase the band's penchant for crafting timeless melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, drawing comparisons to the likes of Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues. However, despite critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base, KLAATU struggled to achieve mainstream success. After a brief hiatus, the band resurfaced in the early 2000s with a renewed sense of purpose, releasing a string of albums that further solidified their status as cult favourites in the world of progressive rock. With their innovative sound and penchant for pushing boundaries, KLAATU has proven that sometimes the most interesting music comes from those who operate just outside the spotlight. So next time you're looking for a musical journey that's equal parts captivating and bizarre, look no further than KLAATU. Just make sure you have your tinfoil hat handy- you never know when the aliens might come knocking.
