Couch was an instrumental post-rock band based in Munich, Germany. The band released music on Kitty-Yo Records and starting in 2000 licensed their music to Matador Records for American distribution, issuing full-lengths in 2000 and 2001 concurrently on those labels. In 2006, they released their final album, Figur 5, on Morr Music.[1]

The group's sound is heavily indebted to the German Krautrock bands of the 1970s.[2][3]
