about

If you love the 80s, and New Wave and Post-Punk are not foreign to you, then you absolutely must listen to BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT by EMILY KINSKI'S DEAD. With her second album, EMILY KINSKI takes you into the BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT, a dark, mystical world full of intrigue, sex, and loneliness, but also a space where you can find love, friendship, and redemption.
You enter this world with EMILY, a cover of the cult band CLAN OF
XYMOX. After the ethereal intro, it seems as if everything is simple, almost harmonious, but of course, it's just an illusion. The opener is followed by the first single DANCING ON THE BATTLEFIELD, musically pure 80s Post-Punk, but lyrically a very current debate between EMILY and a fossil fuel manager who exacerbates climate change instead of stopping it.
If you want to know the whole story, you should definitely watch the cinematic video by FABIO RINCONES, which was released with the single. Next comes COLD COMFORT, but the song is anything but that. It lulls you into a false sense of security, becomes almost anthemic in the chorus, but even it can never completely shed its darkness.
Next is PINK PILL, the catchiest song on the album, the most seductive, telling you of the incredible things that will happen if you take the pink pill. The title track follows, leading you to the center of the BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT, in all its punkish gloom. Again, you dance to it because that's what you've been seeking. But euphoria is followed by a crash with NOTHINGNESS.
Everything is lost, nothing remains, only the absolute loneliness you feel.With DEAD LOSS, you hurriedly leave this world, with pulsating breakbeat elements, seemingly relieved, but the dark lyrics tell a completely different story. SEMAPHORE masks the loneliness and leads you into a trance-like, endless tunnel, throwing you back to yourself with the shoegaze hymn THE MIRROR IN ME.
The CD includes two bonus tracks that cast another shadow on this world. WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ME? takes you deep into the mind of a serial killer, while SIREN'S CALL has you searching for your loved one across all the world's oceans, yet never finding him.
As with the debut album A TIME TO LOVE AND A TIME TO DIE, there will be a music video for each song, drawing you deeper into the world of BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT. Additionally, each song on the album will be available in both a single and a classic 12" maxi version, which are distributed across the various editions of the album (vinyl, CD,
digital) and the two singles DANCING ON THE BATTLEFIELD and EMILY. So, take three-quarters of an hour, let yourself go, and dive into the BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT. You will not regret it!
