Yesterday, iconic post-punk band Pink Turns Blue unveiled a video for "You Still Mean Too Much To Me", yet another track from the forthcoming album, Tainted, set for release on 24 September on limited edition vinyl, CD and digitally via Orden Records. They recently shared two enticing singles "There Must Be So Much More' and "So Why Not Save The World", and now "You Still Mean Too Much To Me", portraying figures who are utterly alone, introspective and seeking an elusive connection, this video echoes themes of isolation felt during the process or working through grief over the loss of a loved one.
The Tainted album is the result of time well spent this past lockdown year writing, recording, mixing and mastering the new album in their Berlin recording studio. On Tainted, the band added an electronic element to their classical vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The album title itself relates to the state of our world: climate change, its effects, the reaction to it, the split within society, isolation, health risks and financial uncertainty.
"How to overcome the grief/pain of lost love, torn between hate, very bad feelings and, at the same time, not being able to let go at all. As there is no understanding why you fall in love with someone in the first place, there is also no reason/understanding why love does end or your love of life starts to feel attracted to someone else. It all dissolves into nothingness", says Mic Jogwer.
Among the first generation of gothic rock in Germany, Pink Turns Blue was formed in 1985, originally as a duo consisting of Mic Jogwer and Thomas Elbern, plus a drum machine. Naming themselves after a Hüsker Dü song, their sound was initially inspired by The Chameleons, Clan Of Xymox, and The Cure. The "You Still Mean Too Much To Me" video is available right below. Link
