CLOAKING LOVE My door is rigid I shut you out I can see it in your eyes I locked my heart Coz in my grip This heart is sad Trapped, mapped and chipped I can see it In your eyes I see it in your eyes The will to survive Its no surprise I see it in your eyes The will to survive It makes me cry I see it in your eyes The will to survive It makes me cry Now I’m running, running like water Crossing bridges And through borders Cracks are filled Caress of affection Allowing, allowing No objection Could you open Open up I see the door is cracked Breathe in breathe in This water Lie back lie back You are supported I see it in your eyes The will to survive It’s no surprise I see it in your eyes The will to survive It makes me cry Fall in love again Crawl in love again Cloaking love again Choking love again

about

Following Plattenbau’s 2nd studio Album ‘Shape / Shifting’ [Dedstrange 2022] comes their unforgiving 3rd album ‘Net Prophet’, releasing on Dedstrange September 8th 2023.

“Neural transmissions of crisis on the eve of WEB 3.0”

Net Prophet finds the band moving deeper into the vaporous territory of 21st century excess, where power casually corrupts absolutely and the mental netscape is more deranged in the membrane than we ever knew possible. A world on the edge, where imminent ecocide and violent social upheaval lurk beneath every minute mental distraction. The doomscroll gets longer and the attention span shorter as a disconnected global internet life takes over with its scepters of promise and looming evasiveness.

The sound is rich in variety from the darkwave pulsing synths of “Lichtenberg Monologue” reminiscent of Shape / Shifting’s “Tomahawk” to the growling, slow-driving bass of “A New Dawn” which harks back to the bands S/T 1st record, albeit with a synth instead of guitar. Even with the stark contrasts of murder-punk “AR-15” and jangle-pop “Purgatory Mall” the record never strays from the prime colors of the band: Vox, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Synth.

Recorded live in the Berlin studio Monoton, the record demonstrates the band in its prime - tightened up and influenced by their extensive touring, who have honed their sound from simple elements into a rich and tasty nugget, easily digestible for the modern consumer. Always true to their company slogan “tight, loose and evil™”.
