Released via Dedstrange (founded by Oliver Ackermann of A Place To Bury Strangers / Death By Audio and home to Jealous, Data Animal, The Pleasure Majenta, GIFT and more), on their new single ‘Cloaking Love’ Berlin anti-punk art-heroes Plattenbau crack out over a frenzied power pop romp hotter than a warped Joy Division cassette baking on the dashboard of a ’92 Chevy Beretta. Anxious bass and drum action melts into a post-punk dream state stalked by Lewis Lloyd’s (vocals/synth) grim cinematic vision. Plattenbau plays witness to the death of ideology— death by audio.
