Klack Return With the New Beat Groove of “Weight of the World”

Klack—the midwest duo of Matt Fanale and Eric Oehler—are back with their fifth EP, Modern Production. Out on April 5th, the first single from the release is “Weight of the World,” a new beat song with a steady pace and sultry groove. A track that could easily sit beside the cheeriness of The Confettis or the danceability of Technotronic, there’s a lot to look forward to with this seven-track EP.

The track is littered with specific bright synthesizer bells that only 1980s aficionados will appreciate, alongside acquiescing vocals that emphasize the brutality of everyday life. It’s the weight of the world, it’s the way of the world.

After their upstanding 2018 release, Do You Klack?, that got a vinyl pressing by the Berlin-based underground label, Detriti, Klack have been consistent favorites for fans of EBM, synthpop and new beat. Modern Production builds on the mish-mash of slightly off-the-cuff dance genres that always remained left-field but have lasting weight nearly four decades later. There’s freestyle and “Berghain-style” Berlin techno in this new batch of tracks, alongside familiar bonus songs for the Modern Production vinyl release from their 2023 SYNTHICIDE split EP with Inconscio Viola.
