Iconic post-punk band Pink Turns Blue has announced that its new Black Swan album will be released on 28 February on limited edition vinyl, CD and digitally via Orden Records. Ahead of that, it presents the single "Black Swan (But I Know There Is More to Life)", the only ballad on the album. Setting the tone for this album, the song offers ample fruit for thought to round out the year, delving into profound questions about existence, reflecting on life's purpose and contemplating what makes for a meaningful life and the beauty of the world.
After 2021's widely acclaimed Tainted album, the companion Tainted Tour 2022' EP and successful American and European tours with often-sold-out concerts, the Berliners' new studio album will be followed by their Black Swan tour, which sees them tour throughout Germany in April.
This new collection is aptly named Black Swan, a term used for an unexpected event that, in retrospect, is rationalized as if one could have prepared for it.
"This first single is about pondering your goals in life. In the end, you will review what you have done with the time you were given. If you think the purpose was to enjoy life - did you do that? If you think your purpose was to be good and make the real world a better place - did you really try? If you think life doesn't make any sense at all – why did you act like you did? Some encounters and events leave an impression, while others made you aware of the beauty and the wonders of this world", says Mic Jogwer.
"Maybe the only thing that really makes you wonder whether there is something divine at all is LOVE. So, did you make efforts to find or give love to someone special, your partner, your parents, kids, or someone in need? Is it good to be good? Is it important to search for something deeper? Or am I just hopeless? Am I trying too hard?"
Formed in 1985 in the first generation of gothic rock and named after a Hüsker Dü song, Pink Turn Blue's debut album, If Two Worlds Kiss, advanced the darkwave sub-genre while becoming a seminal post-punk album. Emerging from the fear and uncertainty of a divided Cold War Germany and inspired by Joy Division, The Sound and The Chameleons, they have since released a dozen full-length LPs and have become known for their trademark blend of post-punk, alternative rock and new wave.
Today, made up of Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Paul Richter (drums), and Luca Sammuri (bass), Pink Turns Blue has achieved pretty much everything an indie band could wish for. Link
