Биография

"Kåte Klør" was a slogan long before it became a band. It referred to those moments in life where the will and the desire to do something, anything, in a small Scandinavian town overpowered reason and fear. It could lead you down the trickiest, darkest paths but somehow you always made it out alive and stronger and wilder than you were before. After the band got started late 2015 it quickly became apparent that this was something more than a reason to get out of bed in the morning. It went from being an outlet to becoming life itself. "After the first few singles and the first few times we got to travel to other places to play there was never anything else that mattered. I had it all here; a purpose, a challenge, a goal. Why then would I do anything else?" says guitarist, Harald Harestad. " "Pessimistopia" was released June 4th 2021 and marks the first full-length effort from Kåte Klør. "It's really a negative record posing as something positive. It's bizarre at times, but what isn't?" Harestad says of the debut album. "Strangely, it came together really fast because of the pandemic and that sense of the world ending and people losing their jobs, including myself, really lit a fire under my ass. If I didn't make it happen now then it may never happen! That was kind of the thinking we had in the studio. Get it done. "
