Stay Modern - Stay Modern / Limited Transparent Pink Edition

Transparent PINK Vinyl, limited to 300 copies

With Young & Cold Records, the Berlin-based quintet has finally reached its natural home base, after numerous releases on renowned scene labels such as Manic Depression, Icy Cold, Wave Tension, Oráculo, Third Coming, and Wave Records.

The new, fifth, album will take the success of BLEIB MODERN into new dimensions. The fact that the album is self-titled shows the self-confidence of the band, which was one of the first groups of the Darkwave/Postpunk revival in the mid-2010s and has been able to gain a very good reputation with numerous releases and live performances ever since.

The group's sound has matured significantly. Like none of the albums before, an atmospheric density has been created here that you would recognize from acts like Clan Of Xymox or Drab Majesty. The mix of intense magical atmosphere and catchiness is on point. Overall, the mood has become darker, and for the first time in the band’s history, some songs with German lyrics were included. Next to guitars, drums, and bass, synths and samples have become an essential part of the brew. The varied structures of the songs guide us into a sparkling dream world: Pieces like “T.W.T.I.A.” and “Feeling Great” are earworms that will quickly become fan favorites. “Stell Dir Vor” and “Rainy Day” are for darker days. They all have an essential Bleib Modern feeling, but on a new, higher level!

The nine new songs are framed by an Intro and an Outro, which give the entire album a conceptual character and show that BLEIB MODERN also has an experimental side. Without any doubt, this album delivers their artistic peak to date and will quickly reach a level of success that only bands like Lebanon Hanover or She Past Away currently have.
