Girls Under Glass - Backdraft - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Girls Under Glass are back with a bang! The Germans' new studio album InchBackdraftInch is best described as a creative explosion that let's all the beloved sounds of their previous works shine brightly and combined on this record. InchBackdraftInch easily shifts gears from catchy gothic rock to electronic dark wave and up to melodic post-punk. And while this sounds reminiscent of the 80s and early 90s, Girls Under Glass have not just rested on their past creative laurels but upgraded their music to the new millennium with a renewed passion that is audible in every note. Even though Girls Under Glass revisit their classic themes, something fresh and new also shows in the lyrics, which in 2023 are less personal than before but reflect on the dystopian issues of our times. Yet although things change, sometimes they also return to a previous state. Former vocalist Thomas InchTomInch Lücke has not only joined the band again on stage where he alternated with current singer Volker Zacharias, but Tom also recorded with Girls Under Glass as he is singing on the tracks of the EP that comes alongside this album. Girls Under Glass started out in the city of Hamburg in 1986 and quickly became a spearhead of the German gothic rock and dark wave scene. From 1994 until 2006, the band expanded their musical horizon and experimented with rock, crossover, and even metal sounds. With an impressive discography under their belt and a massive loyal fanbase, it came of something of a shock when the band seemed to fizzle out of existence. Luckily, the long wait is finally over Girls Under Glass return with a fiery and passionate full-length. InchBackdraftInch will return the band to where it belongs on top! Album Tracks 1.
