PLATTENBAU - (D) – Post-Punk/Noise-Rock/Wave

Description

"Supported by the Initiative Musik and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media "BKM" Plattenbau is an internationally composed Berlin quartet that merges elements of post-punk, noise-rock, and wave into a dark, intense brew. Plattenbau's sound combines mechanically sounding drums, goth-influenced bass lines, mystical guitars, and paranoid-sounding synths into a mixture reminiscent of the soundtrack of a 90s horror film. The whole is held together by intimate, deep, and dark vocals. The result is a sound world that appears both chaotic and carefully composed – in line with their motto: "Tight, loose and evil". The band was founded in 2011, inspired by the brutalist architecture of the post-Soviet landscape of East Berlin. As a fixed part of the Berlin underground scene, the band developed both personally and in their sound over the years until they found their current lineup. Since 2021, they have released their second and third studio albums "Shape / Shifting" (2022) and "Net Prophet" (2023) on Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place To Bury Strangers / Death By Audio) New York-based record label Dedstrange, which they presented on extensive tours through Europe and the USA – including performances at SXSW and the New Colossus Festival in New York, culminating in the closing concert at Bowery Ballroom with A Place To Bury Strangers. "Held In A Curse", released in September 2024, was the first in a series of new singles that delve even deeper into their paranoid cyber universe. Followed by the banner-hissing song "Revenge Body" and most recently the current single "Progress" with guest vocals by Carmen from Berlin's cult darkwave trio "Die Anstalt". This was released as a limited split 7" vinyl, accompanied by a mini-tour and music videos of both bands. Additional information:
