Klang are set to release their long awaited, debut mini album, 'No Sound Is Heard' on all new Blast First (petite) label in May.

Released on CD and Vinyl, the self produced album, features 9 brand new tracks and is the follow up to the London trio's brilliant debut single 'l.o.v.e.' / 'No Thing' on the For Us label in May 2003.

Klang formed 2 years ago when Donna Matthews and Isabel Waidner met Japanese drummer Keisuke Hiratsuka in a second-hand record shop in London. They played a handful of shows in and around the capital with the likes of ESG, Sleater-Kinney, Wire and Electrelane and released the aforementioned debut single 'l.o.v.e.' as a limited edition 7" inch shortly after. A truly original group, Klang were attracting attention from all over the country and in the summer set off on a U.K. tour with Erase Errata and featured on the Sonic Mook 'Hot Shit' compilation with one of the album's stand out tracks 'Outside My Area'.
