Eisenmund is the spellbinding debut album from the post-punk band Schimmel über Berlin. The story behind this record is almost like a fairy tale: after the instrumental tracks lay dormant on tape for two years, the quartet reunited last year to lay down vocals and finally complete the album. Just in time for November’s melancholy and fog, the band delivers nine raw, angular post-punk tracks—at times tinged with cold wave—driven by heavy bass, sharp guitars, and German vocals imbued with a distant poetry. Eisenmund stands out as a visceral, nocturnal plunge into Berlin’s underground sound.
