With chainsaw guitars, cherry-hued melodies and Swedish lyrics, Gothenburg’s KLASS II crafts beautiful noise that hits somewhere between urgency and dream. Their sound draws on shoegaze haze, krautrock pulse and post-punk edge – but always with a raw, emotional core that’s unmistakably their own. Everything is made by hand.

KLASS II is a fully D.I.Y operation: writing, recording, mixing and mastering, artwork – all done by the band. This self-sufficiency runs through their music too: unpolished but precise, introspective but loud. It’s indie rock with heart, nerve and a deep belief in doing things the hard way, because that’s the only way it feels true. Their new album Lite Saknas marks a new chapter – heavier, more textured, and emotionally sharper. It’s the result of years of rewriting, rethinking, and starting over. The sound is bigger, the contrasts deeper, but the heart is the same: restless and searching.
