"We almost thought: it could turn out well". L'APPEL DU VIDE from Chemnitz/Germany worked two nerve-wracking years on their Debut-EP.
Now their "Abwärtsspirale" (downward spiral) is set into motion. They describe their sound as "Dark Punk" , but that's just scratching the surface.
The spectrum reaches from aggressive-gloomy Surf Punk ("Das bin ich nicht" / that's not me) to brittle, repetitive and noisy ("Aufmerksamkeit" / attention) and hymnical-melodic Post Punk ("Delirium").
"Das Programm" (the program), a bittersweet romance in times of total surveillance, is unusual calm and melancholic thanks to an 60ies-organ and background vocals from Mara.
In their lyrics L'APPEL DU VIDE use sparse words and deal with denial, failure and alienation.
"Delirium" could be a soundtrack to the global pandemic, but was written in 2019. The songs were recorded by Flatty.
Refinement came from Max Herrmann/Gloven Studio Leipzig (Mix) and Mikey Young (Mastering).
