KUF Announce Next Album
'Gold' is scheduled for release on July 1.
Berlin-based trio KUF have announced the release of their debut album on Macro, Gold, due out at the beginning of July.
Stefan Goldmann‘s Macro imprint was founded in 2007, and has recently put out music by the likes of KiNK, Elektro Guzzi, L’estasi Dell’oro, and the label head himself. Valentin Link, Hendrik Havekost and Tom Schneider (a.k.a. KUF) made their debut on the imprint earlier this year with the four track Odyssee EP, and are now set to release a full-length via it.
KUF perform all their music as a live band, with Link on bass, Havekost on drums and Schneider working the synths. They are known for their cut-up take on techno, which melds R&B and funk influences with modern electronic sounds. The sound of the forthcoming album is described by the label as “warm” and “cosy,” as well as being “dance-centered, thrillingly interactive and broken up at the best possible joints.” It lifts two tracks from the earlier Odyssee EP, alongside ten new cuts.
Gold is set to hit stores on July 1. You can pre-order it and listen to snippets over at the Macro Bandcamp. For a taste of what to expect, check out the video for “Odyssee” below.
