After an 18-EP series realised between 2015 and 2020, Berlin-based artist Vlimmer has just released “Nebenkörper” (Engl. “secondary body”), his first album. It marks a departure from the atmospheric post-punk/goth/electronics that never denied a certain pop sensibility, no matter how dark Alexander Leonard Donat’s songwriting turned out. On “Nebenkörper” we see Vlimmer in another light. The layered sounds are still swirling but right in the middle of it all it’s the pounding tribal drums, a desperate, lamenting voice, and modern synthesizers that create a contemporary atmosphere that fits the disillusion, desperation, melancholia and confusion of our days which have been troubling and challenging due to the pandemic that has changed the world.
