Founded in Cologne, Germany in 1985, Pink Turns Blue\u2019s blend of atmospheric dark pop informed by European post-punk contemporaries and buzzing punk dissonance of\u202fH\u00fcsker D\u00fc (the band is named after the Zen Arcade song) immediately tapped into a new canon of sound that was foundational to the emergence of darkwave. Tom Elbern (vocals, guitars)formerly of Seltsame Zust\u00e4nde and Mic Jogwer (vocals, bass) were joined by Marcus Giltjes (drums), and Ruebi Walter (keyboards) and caught on through diligently pounding the club circuit and circulating their early, self-financed recordings. <\/p>\n

Despite the commitment to their craft and initial grassroots success, securing label support proved difficult as they refused to sing in German and their sober tone lacked the shimmer of pop and optimism that executives felt formulaic to success. Still, the band persisted with the duo of Elbern and Jogwer sharing vocal duties and song credits, each informing the other\u2019s compositions until Elbern halved the song production and left the band in 1987. Continuing to perform and record as a three piece, the band eventually found roots with FunFactory!, an independent label based in M\u00fcnster whose manager, Axel Seitz, shared the band\u2019s appreciation of the Velvet Underground and Andy Warhol\u2019s Factory vision, urging them to forego releasing singles and focus on a full-length.\u202f Released in 1987 and now remastered by Josh Bonati for vinyl release through Dais Records,\u202fIf Two Worlds Kiss\u202fis a seminal offering to the canon of dark wave\u2019s DNA – a fluid lesson in melody, mood, and pacing – each track continuously adding to the journey like a unique push-pin on a map of melancholy. <\/p>\n

Defined by their dynamic song-writing, their debut added a new urgency and depth to guitar-driven gothic rock by allowing fast songs such as the lead single \u201cWalking on Both Sides\u201d to possess the same sullen punch and melancholy as slower anthems like \u201cWhen the Hammer Comes Down\u201d, which derives its power on the downbeat. More rhythmic variety is added through beat-driven dancefloor tracks with triumphant singalong choruses like \u201cThat Was You\u201d, showing they could swing hard – as well as swirl\u2026 Dais Records is proud to present the first ever official reissue of this classic deathrock \/ darkwave masterpiece. <\/p>\n

The CD version is the 2015 reissue on Order Records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
