Info: | The second album by last years
shooting Electro stars EMILY KINSKY’S DEAD, in Digipack with
8 pages lyrcis booklet! If you love the 80s, and New Wave and Post-Punk
are not foreign to you, then you absolutely must listen to this album.
‘Black Light District’ is a dark, mystical world
full of intrigue, sex, and loneliness, but also a space where you can
find love, friendship, and redemption. You enter this world with EMILY,
a cover of the well known track by CLAN OF XYMOX. After the ethereal
intro, it seems as if everything is simple, almost harmonious, but of
course, it's just an illusion. The opener is followed by the first
single DANCING ON THE BATTLEFIELD, musically pure 80s Post-Punk, but
lyrically a very current debate between EMILY and a fossil fuel manager
who exacerbates climate change instead of stopping it. If you want to
know the whole story, you should definitely watch the cinematic video
below! Next comes COLD COMFORT, but the song is anything but that. It
lulls you into a false sense of security, becomes almost anthemic in
the chorus, but even it can never completely shed its darkness. PINK PILL is probably the catchiest song on the album, the most seductive, telling you of the incredible things that will happen if you take the pink pill. The title track follows, leading you to the center of the album, in all its punkish gloom. Other highlights are DEAD LOSS, with pulsating breakbeat elements, but the dark lyrics tell a completely different story. SEMAPHORE masks the loneliness and leads you into a trance-like, endless tunnel, throwing you back to yourself with the shoegaze hymn THE MIRROR IN ME. EMILY KINSKI’S DEAD is a German/Swiss project, born out of a fondness for post-punk and new wave from the early 80s, combined with contemporary electronics. The band was founded 2021 by Oliver Spring, René Ebner & Thomas Kowa. All 3 musicians are well known in the Electro scene as members of bands such as NO COMMENT (Subway/Subtronic, Vision Records, Nanopop, Echozone...) and SLEEPWALK (Celtic Circle/Khazad-Dum, Scanner...), and as NINE SECONDS they released 4 more ‘EBM/Industrial‘-styled albums on Infacted Recordings and Space Race. |
