Book launch – Neu Klang: The Definitive History of Krautrock by Christoph Dallach

On Tuesday, 14 May at 5pm BST, BGA members are invited to the launch of Christoph Dallach’s new book Neu Klang: The Definitive History of Krautrock edited by Faber at Rough Trade West in London. The author Christoph Dallach will be in conversation with journalist John Doran.

Faber presents the first ever oral-history of Krautrock, the sound that changed modern music. The unique and adventurous sounds produced by German bands such as CAN, Neu!, Amon Düül, Popul Vuh, Tangerine Dream, Faust, Cluster or Kraftwerk, now widely-known as Krautrock, are considered a blueprint for modern rock music.

Christoph Dallach is a journalist who writes for Die Zeit, ZEITMagazin and Spiegel among others. He lives in Hamburg.
