After releasing the fantastic debut album “Change In The Neon Light” of San Francisco’s Veil Veil Vanish on November 5th. in G/S/A, Dependent today confirms January 28th, 2011 as the release date for the other European countries. The debut album propels the band forward into a new and dynamic territory. From the first, exquisite darkpop single “Anthem For A Doomed Youth” to the intense staccato of "Modern Lust" to the plaintive shimmer of "Pharmaceutical Party Platform" to the propulsive drum front of the title track, their first full-length LP CHANGE IN THE NEON LIGHT is rife with percussive rhythms and hooks, enveloped in swaths of layered guitars.
Strategies Against Architechture IV, the fourth album in the archival compilation series by Einstürzende Neubauten is available now. The Strategies Against Architecture IV double disc release includes material from the band's deeply symbolic appearance at Berlin's Palast der Republik - the former of seat of power of the German Democratic Republik, featuring The Social Choir of 100 supporter voices; live recordings such as YouMe & MeYou (from Vienna); Bertolt Brecht Und Der Weltempfänger (featuring "a roll of gaffer tape descending a staircase") as well as material from the "Musterhaus" series (a collection of very limited edition experimental albums that were available exclusively via the band's website).
VERLUSTPRINZIP is much more than just music...it's a construction of sound, expressions and art in the form of pictures and projections, which impresses with a very specific and distinct sound, that cannot be pigeonholed. Challenging lyrics meet subtle sounds and terrific basslines that are piled up high with vast effects.
