Einstürzende Neubauten present their new album. They are looking for new forms. For the undiscovered sound and the still unspoken word. Since their founding on April 1st, 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten have been shifting the parameters of mainstream and subculture to make the inaudible audible. And perhaps also the unheard of. A field research effort spanning four decades that is now entering the next stage. In its 44th year of existence, the formation goes far back to its roots in order to redefine itself at the same time. A changed self-image, for which the Berlin quintet plus eins created its own genre in 2024: apm - alien pop music. Constant further development - that's how you could briefly and succinctly summarize the work of Einstürzende Neubauten. A musical evolution that begins with the album debut "Kollaps", released in 1981, and now manifests itself on the album "Rampen - apm: alien pop music", released in April 24, on which Blixa Cash, N.U. Unruh, Alexander Hacke, Jochen Arbeit, Rudolph Moser and Felix Gebhard now at their most unpredictable and idiosyncratic. On their new album, the Neuhäusern put an end to all sound speculation - albeit late. Since the mid-1980s, the Einstürzende Neubauten have been experimenting with so-called ramps on stage: public improvisations with open development and outcome; Launch pads into the still unexplored, which the band performed in the encore section of their last “Alles in Allem” tour in 2022 and whose recordings serve as the basis for the new album. "Rampen - apm: alien pop music" is pop music for parallel universes and in-between worlds. For hyperspaces and interzones. Microcosmic and intergalactic at the same time. A demimondean assertion outside of all physical laws, with which the Einstürzende Neubauten enter a stylistic no-man's land between past and future. A return to the roots on the one hand, and on the other hand, a new art form emerges from loud noise eruptions, meeting cryptic, often fragmentary lyrics: popular music for aliens and outsiders. Anti-pop has become alien pop. Strange. Spun like a cocoon. Unheard. Sonus inauditus. Not entirely unintentionally, the reduced cover artwork is reminiscent of the iconic layout of the Beatles' "White Album". “Starting from the idea that the Einstürzende Neubauten are just as famous in another solar system as the Beatles are in our world,” says Blixa Cash about the balancing act between avant-garde and wink, provocation and pop-cultural discontinuity. This would also directly indicate the central theme that runs like a common thread through all the songs: change, utopian mind games and transience. "I found a few solutions on the record and formulated things in a way that I hadn't formulated before because they weren't so clear to me. I'm someone who thinks I gain knowledge through music. It's always been that way . The conviction to find something in music that I didn't know before. And to sing something that I didn't know before. Something that then turns out to be truth. Or at least makes sense if you want to keep it a little smaller ." This album represents the next stage of evolution, where you finally leave the familiar language behind. And the opening of further, infinite possibilities: alien pop music.
