EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: ALIEN POP MUSIC 2024

In the organizer's words:

Einstürzende Neubauten present their new album. European tour in fall 2024

RAMPEN (apm: alien pop music)

They search for new forms. For the undiscovered sound and the as yet unspoken word. Since their foundation on April 1, 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten have been shifting the parameters of mainstream and subculture in order to make the inaudible audible. And perhaps also the inaudible. An attempt at field research spanning four decades, which is now entering the next stage. In its anniversary year, the formation goes far back to its roots in order to redefine itself at the same time. A changed self-image for which the Berlin quintet plus one 2024 has created its own genre: apm - alien pop music.

Constant development - that's how you could summarize the work of Einstürzende Neubauten in a nutshell. A musical evolution that began with the 1981
album debut "Kollaps" and now manifests itself on the album "Rampen - apm: alien pop music" to be released in April 24, on which Blixa Bargeld, N.U. Unruh, Alexander Hacke, Jochen Arbeit, Rudolph Moser and Felix Gebhard present themselves from their most unpredictable and idiosyncratic side. On their new album, Neubauten put an end - albeit belatedly - to all sound speculation. Since the mid-1980s, Einstürzende Neubauten have been experimenting on stage with so-called ramps: public improvisations with an open development and outcome; launching pads into the unexplored, which the band performed in the encore section of their last "Alles in Allem" tour in 2022 and whose recordings serve as the basis for the new album.
