Die Selektion is finally back with their long awaited third studio album. After intensive tours through the techno and goth clubs of the world, Die Selektion are back with their unique blend of synth-pop and electronic body music. Heavy-hearted but hopeful trumpet melodies, German lyrics that make you think again about your past and future, synth sounds in the great tradition of 80s wave and pop, combined with punchy drum machines – this forms the basis of their self-proclaimed Prosecco Wave world.
Their new album “Witness of Light” contains 9 hits to live, love and laugh and let you forget your everyday worries. The Selection have formed a new line-up with all three founding members Gillian, Rief and Rieger plus Savenberg who joined in 2013. The result of this fascinating reunion is a super-sonic experience for body, heart and soul. The new songs expand the band’s sound with an almost casual, elegant variety. Every single component shines, and an understanding of what pop is really all about comes to the fore, adding an ironic sheen to the black nihilism of dark wave. With “Witness of Light” Die Selektion opens a new door in their changeable band line-up. And we should all be curious to find out what’s behind it.
