You Have Been Processed is the sophomore full length album from Klammer, a four-man rock band out of Leeds. From the first few bars on, we find an uncanny resemblance to Joy Division - especially vocally. The palette this band works with is dark, heavy, driving, and foreboding, though it gets to feeling a bit repetitive and predictable at times. The music is compelling but the presentation is a little lackluster; individual songs, sounds, and ideas are great, but the overall execution of the album as an entity lacks the edge and in-your-face-ness that this genre begs. Klammer offers a genuinely engaging soundscape - hopefully their production team can keep up next time. Stream and buy You Have Been Processed at the link below.
