Dead Finks (Post-Punk)

In the organizer's words:

Dead Finks, the long-running post-punk project from Berlin, are back with their fourth album, which retains their typical mix of hysterical cynicism and shrill seriousness. Their unique position between sarcasm and sincerity has garnered them attention in the underground scene for some time now. Especially in their hometown, they occupy an unusual niche: Berlin isn't exactly known for guitar-heavy music these days, and at its worst, the city often feels like it can't decide whether it wants to be a giant club, a dysfunctional commune or a content farm for a venture capital-funded start-up.

But the Finks are one thing above all: persistent. Their surprising fourth album has produced their strongest and most accessible work to date: "New Plastik Abyss", an album full of ideas and with a nervous, colorful confidence.

The driving, often harsh sound of their earlier albums has been softened somewhat by shimmering guitars, hyper-melodic vocal lines and a greater focus on clarity and dynamics. As a result, classic pop songwriting, shoegaze sounds and avant-garde art music flow into their canon.

But the music still packs a punch, with a conviction and vitality that suggests the band is on the verge of leaving mere curiosity status behind. Dead Finks have sharpened their edges and their vision - a real breakthrough.
