Pink Turns Blue – Meta

Pink Turns Blue are a post-punk band from Berlin, Germany. Formed in 1985, they were part of the first generation of gothic rock in Germany. With a sound reminiscent of new wave with very dark undertones and use of synthesizers, they went to become part of the developing sub-genre of dark wave. Meta is their sophomore album, released on 1988. It was a conceptual leap for the band, predicated by the study of sound and exploration of it’s edges. With the same fervor that Joy Division mined deeper, darker, and less linear on Closer, Meta is a cohesive meditation on atmosphere and how every note and passage can traverse space individually, as part of a larger narrative. Recorded by Jané Krizaj known for producing most of Laibach’s material, the Meta sessions took place in a basement studio located below a stadium.
