Die Wände: Self Titled (2022)


Die Wände is the second album from the Berlin post-punk group of the same name. This album is takes its time to flesh itself out in detail. Despite the run-of-the-mill running length at just around 50 minutes, it is only 8 tracks long. The opening track, appropiately titled "Die ewige Baustelle" (The eternal construction site) reflects this depth with its 13:31 track length. The first opening segment on this track invites us to get comfortable, before all but echoing, distant drums go out. This is one of the specialties of Die Wände, which was explored more in depth on their first record Im Flausch
