This weekend curer in the form of a mixtape comes from Marvins Revolt's Klaus. Marvins Revolt is a three-piece out of Copenhagen, Denmark (who mutate into a four-piece live) making angular and catchy tunes. Touched by sounds from the present and the past, but forging their own path, regardless of scenes or trends. The songs appear as intense, challenging and melodic structures, with disregard for songwriting rules.
