About Me

aural suspicions existing beyond the emotional limits of patient men.
emanating hopes and disappointment within unset measures and bars, culminating in a karmic explosion of musical bliss.
klphq's musical journey travels between realms of post-rock and guitar experimentalism, randomly interweaving musical textures that is limited to none.
"To the People We Love" is proof that the band isn't just a cloud of hype -- no, there's some real skill and talent fueling this band. Intricate guitar lines are weaved much like The Mercury Program or Signal Hill are known for, but there's a biting intensity which gives KLPHQ's work more of a emotional feeling than their immediate peers. That's some flavorful post-rock for your mind to consume. Slowly progress into a rolling, vibrant dynamic, which continues to evolve and never really reaches the zenith that a more stagnant band would rest upon. Five minutes, gone in the blink of an eye..." - silentballet.com
"...and KLPHQ was unmerciful in their epic construction and deconstruction of glorious guitar noise; relentless in their endeavour to induce the most orgasmic of musical experiences. And they succeeded in both." - think.com.my
"Hovering from the musical structure of soft to loud and slow to fast, it appeared as though KLPHQ were also prone to methodical constructions, but on closer inspection, their songs were far more erratic, complex and musically developed. Their post-rock heroes would have been proud." - think.com.my
"Their cavalier and ambitious approach to presenting their music have seen KLPHQ gain a solid reputation as one of the more interesting and exciting experimental bands currently rocking the local indie scene. " - The Star
"While still adhering to a largely harmonic skeletal framework, the band totally deconstructed traditional song structures, did away completely with vocals, and thrilled the crowd with a 20-minute-long set of an unrelenting barrage of freewheeling, eardrum-piercing squalling guitars and pile-driving drums." - mtvasia.com
"KLPHQs instrumental musings saw a three-song medley of beautiful noise, underpinning shoe-gazing styles and stretched-out guitar movements. " - The Star
"What they can do for you is perhaps not life changing or threatening. If you are looking for new bands to listen in the genre of post-rock or improvisation instrumental music, this is a band worth checking out." - Agingyouth.com
"...and KLPHQ rode the sunset on Sunday with their brand of stomp box worship through epic atmospheric instrumentals." - The Star
