Klee, 'Honeysuckle' (Minty Fresh)
German pop-rockers miss that certain melodic something.
By Michaelangelo Matos 10.24.06 3:00 AM
Klee is a trio (vocals, keyboards, and guitar) who write basic, efficient songs and fit them to a workmanlike variety of musical settings: disco rock ("Gold"), low-lit new wave ("As Long as You Live"), and especially jangle pop ("This Is for Everyone"). A few of them are even presented in both English and German. But singer Suzie Kerstgens' simultaneously breathy and grainy voice -- which pushes similar buttons as Carol van Dijk of Dutch indie-pop vets Bettie Serveert -- deserves better.
