Berlin-based indie dance/electronic/dark disco/nu disco/synth-wave trio Dina Summer have announced the release of their highly anticipated second album ‘Girls Gang’.
Along with the announcement they have also shared the title track ‘Girls Gang’, which perfectly showcases Dina Summer’s talent for creating moody sonic spectacles for the dancefloor while exploring themes and narratives far beyond the club. The album will arrive on January 24th, 2025 via Iptamenos Discos. Pre-order your copy here.
The versatile new collection features eleven distinctive tracks that delve into themes such as empowerment, outsiderhood, impermanence, nostalgia, and relationships. While their debut album had a club-centric sound influenced by Italo-disco and ’90s electro, this new release explores a richer palette of new wave, post-punk, and synth-pop.
The title track is a dose of chugging, instantly seductive synth wave drama. On ‘Girls Gang’,
Dina Summer’s enchanting frontwoman Dina draws you in through breathy whispers, calling on – like a vampire necromancer – goth icons such as Morticia Addams, Lydia Deetz, Siouxsie Sioux and Elvira. Meanwhile, a booming kick, snare, and an unwavering bassline work in harmony to elicit a feeling of bold, self-assured confidence dressed in black. Silky smooth background vocals add a touch of elegance and allure, completing the picture.
