Berlin post-punk/darkwave band Pink Turns Blue have aired their new single “Dancing With Ghosts”, alongside a music video.
The track is taken from their upcoming album “BLACK SWAN“, which will be released on February 28. Get it here.
‘Dancing With Ghosts’ is a song that confronts the agonizing reality of toxic relationships – those soul-draining connections we often share with the people closest to us. This is a raw exploration of the struggle to escape the “ghosts” of the past and the arduous, but ultimately liberating, journey toward self-preservation.
Speaking about it, Mic Jogwer say:
“An exclamation to escape a complicated relationship. Dancing With Ghosts is a song about our difficulty of breaking out of an unhealthy bond. Some last a lifetime – and are not good for us at all. They suck all our energy, never give, always take. And whatever we do, it’s never right and never good enough. And since it’s often our best friend, mother, or sister, it feels like we owe them something, but every time we try to do something good for them, we just feel miserable and used.
There is no easy way out, because whatever we do, we lose.
These spirits will haunt us forever unless we challenge them and eventually manage to leave them behind. We’re Dancing With Ghosts.“

After their worldwide success with their album ‘Tainted’ and their often-sold-out club concerts in America and Europe, the next studio album of the post-punk legends will be out on Feb 28, followed by a club tour through Germany in April and a US tour starting end of August. The album and the tour title “BLACK SWAN”, is a term for an unexpected event, which in retrospect is justified as if one could have prepared for it.
