Ah, mid-80s Germany… stonewashed jeans, Cold War paranoia, Nina Hagen, rent boys at the Bahnhof Zoo, the Sony Walkman, Alphaville and some truly horrendous multi-coloured shellsuits. That’s the musical and cultural backdrop against which this five-track, eight-mix EP from Annegret Fiedler AKA Perel operates, by and large – though the DFA and Running Back regular does find room, too, for hints of Gaga-esque pop on ‘Internal Monologue’, as well as an excursion into electro territory on the sparse, bodypopper-friendly ‘In The Box’. If spiky indie-dance with a coldwave twist is your bag, step right on in.
