After discovering some of their demos on a late night Internet radio program, Kelp jumped at the chance to release the enchanting sounds of Hoffenheimer. The European duo, comprised of German House DJ Klaus Heimer and Dutch interior designer Gustav Hoffen, have quickly assembled their finest recordings to date, which will be released as their first North American release later this winter. The album, entitled Frieren (the German word for "freezing"), is a trip into the world of slumber, exhibiting a delicate touch similar to the works of Low, Ida or quieter Yo La Tengo. Equipped with keyboards, bass and soft, soft vocals, Hoffenheimer have quite possibly created the "sleeper" hit of the year.
