We have been listening to the fresh and still unreleased great album by famous German synthpop band Camouflage. Still few treasures to discover left... Stay tuned!
Label info:
We write the year 2015. One retro wave follows the next.
Synth-Pop is bigger than ever. All around the world, current productions
reference the sound that emerged from pre-reunification Germany. So
where are the originals – the bands and artists of that time – today?
Many can be found doing the rounds at eighties parties held by local
radio stations. Others are investing the royalties from their back
catalogues in the cultivation of organic vegetables. Not so for
Camouflage. That's right – THE Camouflage – the masters of sadness
dressed up in electronic songs. The band flitted directly from the small
German town of Bietigheim-Bissingen all the way to the United States in
1987 with "The Great Commandment". Their music brilliantly combined the
icy coolness of Kraftwerk, the pop of OMD and the melancholy gloom of
Depeche Mode. Yet the temptation to indulge in nostalgia has always
remained very feint with this band. So it's no surprise that Camouflage
now emerge with "Greyscale" – a strikingly current and compelling album,
both musically and lyrically.Release: March 6th, 2015
