Comment: KieLoBot is a Göppingen, German group (Lobo Loco, and Kieli Cat) who has issued a handful of releases so far. They sing in their native language being mostly backed up by easy arrangements as if set up on the next day followed by a heavy booze-up night. Not yet ready and having no intention to provide something serious and profound but instead of it doing joyous lad pop/rock numbers with occasional hints at funk, reggae and smooth jazz. As if getting billed somewhere in a pub to gig a careless stint. Later on, let's take some steps further, regarding impressive Krautrock progressions over there it will remind of some late performances by CAN where additionally to the music and the band were also represented a joggler on the stage. Something similarly inconsistent feels can be felt throughout this course of 11 tracks. However, Wirklich Wichtig Electromix, self-titled track and Tanzen are true gems with analytical approach more depth to be added and gone into both hypnotic funk and spaced-out spheres. You can find out the combo's albums at Free Music Archive, and Bandcamp.
