Our Take

XMAL DEUTSCHLAND's Early Singles (1981-1982) is a purple vinyl journey back to the heyday of darkwave, when hairspray was plentiful, and eyeliner was thicker than a bowl of pea soup. This collection of tracks captures the essence of the German post-punk scene with all the brooding intensity of a thunderstorm in Berlin.

From the haunting vocals of Anja Huwe to the hypnotic synth beats that pulse through each track, XMAL DEUTSCHLAND's music is like a dark and twisted fairy tale come to life. The early singles showcased on this album are a testament to the band's ability to create a sound that is both captivating and unsettling in equal measure.

Tracks like "Qual" and "Gewalt" are perfect examples of XMAL DEUTSCHLAND's ability to blend ethereal melodies with pulsating rhythms, creating a sonic landscape that is as immersive as it is haunting. The raw energy and passion that exudes from each track is a reminder of why this band has remained a cult favourite for decades.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of darkwave or just dipping your toe into the genre, XMAL DEUTSCHLAND's Early Singles (1981-1982) is a must-have addition to your vinyl collection. So grab a glass of absinthe, slip on your black leather gloves, and let XMAL DEUTSCHLAND transport you to a world where the only thing darker than the music is the eyeliner.
