Bleib Modern + Konstantin Unwohl

presented by "black tide" - dark wave, goth, post punk an more: BLEIB MODERN (2024) ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR (2025) 10th anniversary special edition With Young & Cold Records, the Berlin quintet BLEIB MODERN has finally reached its natural home base after numerous releases on scene renowned labels such as Manic Depression, Wave Tension, Oráculo, Third Coming, Wave Records and Icy Cold. The new, fifth, album will take the success of BLEIB MODERN into new dimensions backed by the worldwide network of Young & Cold Records. The fact that the album is self titled shows the self-confidence of the band that was one of the first groups of the Darkwave/Postpunk revival in the mid-2010s and was able to gain a very good reputation with numerous releases and live performances ever since. The group’s sound has matured significantly. Like none of the albums before, an atmospheric density has been created here that you would know from acts like Clan Of Xymox or Drab Majesty. The mix of intense magic atmosphere and catchiness is on point. Overall, the mood has become darker. BLEIB MODERN is on new tracks. For the first time in the band’s history there are German lyrics. Next to guitars, drums, and base, synths and samples have become an essential part of the brew. The varied structures of the songs guide us into a sparkling dream world: Pieces like "T.W.T.I.A." and "Feeling Great" are earwigs that will become fan favourites quickly. „Stell Dir Vor" and „Rainy Day" are for darker days. They all got an essential Bleib Modern feeling, but on the next level. The nine new songs are framed by an Intro and an Outro, which gives the entire album a conceptual character, and show that BLEIB MODERN have an experimental side, too. Without any doubt this album delivers their artistic peak to date and will quickly reach a level of success that only bands like Lebanon Hanover or She Past Away currently have. https://bleibmodern.bandcamp.com/
