| Description: | GIRLS UNDER GLASS are back with a bang! The Germans' new studio album "Backdraft" is best described as a creative explosion that lets all the beloved sounds of their previous works shine brightly and combined on this record. "Backdraft" easily shifts gears from catchy gothic rock to electronic dark wave and up to melodic post-punk. And while this sounds reminiscent of the 80s and early 90s, GIRLS UNDER GLASS have not just rested on their past creative laurels but upgraded their music to the new millennium with a renewed passion that is audible in every note. Even though GIRLS UNDER GLASS revisit their classic themes, something fresh and new also shows in the lyrics, which in 2023 are less personal than before but reflect on the dystopian issues of our times. Yet although things change, sometimes they also return to a previous state. Former vocalist Thomas "Tom" Lücke has not only joined the band again on stage where he alternated with current singer Volker Zacharias , but Tom also recorded with GIRLS UNDER GLASS as he is singing on the tracks of the EP that comes alongside this album. GIRLS UNDER GLASS started out in the city of Hamburg in 1986 and quickly became a spearhead of the German gothic rock and dark wave scene. From 1994 until 2006, the band expanded their musical horizon and experimented with rock, crossover, and even metal sounds. With an impressive discography under their belt and a massive loyal fanbase, it came of something of a shock when the band seemed to fizzle out of existence. Luckily, the long wait is finally over: GIRLS UNDER GLASS return with a fiery and passionate full-length. "Backdraft" will return the band to where it belongs: on top! - 180GR. COPPER RED VINYLLP (Limited. Copper red vinyl) incl. #padded inner sleeve and printed insert"Backdraft" is a powerful LP by Girls Under Glass, released by the renowned dark electronic label Dependent. Rooted in darkwave, electro-industrial and gothic rock, this album blends driving electronic rhythms with dense, melancholic atmospheres and melodic hooks. On "Backdraft", Girls Under Glass fuse pulsating basslines, cinematic synth layers and expressive vocals into a cohesive sound that feels both classic and contemporary, appealing to long-time scene followers as well as new listeners to dark alternative music. The production emphasizes clarity and punch while preserving a raw emotional core, making this LP an immersive listening experience from start to finish.
Lyrically and atmospherically, "Backdraft" explores themes such as inner conflict, emotional burn-out, urban darkness and the search for identity in a fragmented world. Each track is carefully arranged, shifting between club-ready energy and introspective, slower passages. The LP format underlines the album's coherent dramaturgy: side A builds intensity and tension, while side B deepens the mood with more expansive, atmospheric pieces that invite repeated listening and full-album immersion.
Girls Under Glass are a long-standing name in the darkwave and gothic/industrial scene, known for their blend of electronic hardness, melodic sensitivity and post-punk influences. Over the years they have built a loyal international fanbase with their consistently high-quality releases and intense live performances, and they are regarded as an influential act within the European dark alternative movement. Their discography reflects a continuous evolution, moving from more guitar-driven gothic sounds to increasingly electronic and experimental textures, while always retaining their unmistakable identity.
