Spiritualized, The Soft Moon, and The Blue Angel Lounge are playing 2018’s Synästhesie Festival in Berlin
The folks at Berlin’s 8MM Bar—champions of Berlin’s underground and alternative rock spirit—are very proud to announce the initial lineup of their 4th edition of their annual Synästhesie Festival. This year includes The Soft Moon, a reunion gig from The Blue Angel Lounge, and an exclusive headlining appearance from Spiritualized—their first in Germany since 2012.
Following last year’s 20th anniversary of their classic album “Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space” Spiritualized are preparing the release of their next LP And Nothing Hurt, which the band’s Jason Pierce has stated via an interview with The Quietus that the record is: “…not just another collection of songs – it’s a big record. It’s also [taken] years of work…I don’t want it to be a light undertaking. I want it to say something and be a big deal.”
Listen to “I’m Your Man”, and “A Perfect Miracle” from the album via spotify.
And Nothing Hurt is set for release via PIAS on September 7th.
Rounding up the lineup is are sets from The Underground Youth, LeVent, Gewalt, Brabrabra, and Jealous.
The festival is being held this year at Berlin’s Kulturbrauerei (literal translation: Culture Brewery) November 23rd & 24th.
