Pink Turns Blue announce February release for ‘Black Swan’ album – First single out now
Pink Turns Blue
The Berlin-based post-punk band Pink Turns Blue has announced that their new “Black Swan” album will be released in February on limited edition vinyl, CD and digitally via Orden Records. Ahead of that, they present the single “Black Swan (But I Know There Is More to Life)”, the only ballad on the album.
As of December 6, “Black Swan (But I Know There Is More to Life)” is available everywhere online, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp. Below is the video.
“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 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?”
The release comes after 2021’s “Tainted” album, the companion “Tainted Tour 2022” EP and American and European tours. Also the new studio album will be followed by a tour, the ‘Black Swan’ tour, which sees them tour throughout Germany in April.
About Pink Turns Blue
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” became 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.
Today the band is made up of Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Paul Richter (drums) and Luca Sammuri (bass).
