‘A year or two later – the cold summer is back!’
What sounds like a threat are the opening words of Cold Summer’s new 12". The four bad-weather punks from Leipzig have struck again – more direct, angrier and more intense than ever. With “Den Umständen entsprechend”, they release five new songs that strike a nerve in the present day as unvarnished as they are relentless. Yet the record remains true to itself and its genre: straightforward, at times playful, full of emotion but always uncompromising. Thus Cold Summer drive their own frustration forward, leaving you with a cold shiver and a dark foreboding. Inspired by the hopelessness of everyday life, “Den Umständen entsprechend” is more than just another post-punk record.
It is an angry commentary on the structures that sometimes feel like a dystopian fever dream.
Recorded by Anton Hoyer in his own rehearsal room and mastered by JB Meyrieux, “Den Umständen entsprechend” is released as a one-sided 12” with a screen print on the B-side.
