DEINE LAKAIEN - Announce New Album And Release Lyric Video

German avant-garde darkwave icons Deine Lakaien have released the lyric video "Nightfall" as the first single taken from their forthcoming new album Dual +, to be released on 26 November via Prophecy Productions, that continues, twists and expands the artistic concept of its predecessor Dual (released on the 16th of April 2021), and which the new full-length follows hot on the heels. In the wake of "Duals" artistic principle of "cause and effect", embodied by a cover song and a related original new track, Dual + is broadening this concept and condensing it into one compact album.

"While creating Dual, we had already considered having each new track directly following or preceding the cover version that it relates to," explains Ernst Horn. "This idea was dropped when we recorded more and more songs, which finally led us to create a double album. Now we saw a good opportunity to bring the immediate contrast back on Dual + as "Nightfall" is musically clearly connected to Pink Floyd's classic "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun". Lyrically, there is a different type of contrast as "Nightfall" represents the beginning of a journey into the night, to travel through the infinite expanse of space to the stars, which symbolises our longing for home far away."

With their new full-length Dual +, Deine Lakaien continue to ride the impressive creative wave that their compelling concept for the previous double-album Dual has caused. Yet while Dual was strictly following a principle of cause and effect that juxtaposed one cover version on the first album with a new song that was inspired by it on the second record. Dual + keeps the basic formula, but comes across as more compact, multi-layered, and experimental, while also leaving more space for relaxed divergence. Link
