Berlin (Germany)- based gothic rockers Golden Apes released a new single and video, "The Highest Point". The song is a captivating blend of atmospheric synths, cutting guitars, and dynamic rhythms. This haunting post-punk/darkwave gem offers a glimpse into the band's evolving sound as they prepare for their upcoming album in 2026.
"From the highest point to the deepest vale..." These words open "The Highest Point" and encapsulate the song’s sweeping emotional and sonic journey. From its panoramic, ethereal introduction to the raw, guitar-driven intensity of the verses - before returning to moments of quiet reflection - the track masterfully navigates every corner of the band’s musical landscape.
Hovering synthesizers, sharp-edged guitars, and dynamic rhythms intertwine with rich, atmospheric textures, creating a hauntingly beautiful fusion of melody and melancholy.
Marking the path toward their upcoming album, "The Highest Point" offers a compelling glimpse of what’s to come. Listen for yourself. Link
