With three new tracks and four remixes, the German synth pop trio Beborn Beton is widening the musical range of the album, while staying true to its spirit both in lyrical content and music.
Beborn Beton were founded by vocalist Stefan Netschio, keyboard player and drummer Stefan Tillmann, and keyboard player Michael Wagner in 1989. The trio set out with the declared aim to keep synth pop relevant and give it meaning. Following their first two regular albums “Tybalt” (1993) and “Concrete Ground” (1994), Beborn Beton joined renowned acts such as Wolfsheim and De/Vision.
Having conquered Germany, the three electro-musicians rapidly expanded their realm abroad with the 1996 full-length “Nightfall”, followed by “Truth” in 1997, and “Fake” (1999) that gained the Germans international acclaim by critics and fans alike. By the time, “Rückkehr zum Eisplaneten” (‘Return to the Ice-Planet’) was released in 2000, Beborn Beton had firmly positioned themselves as a headlining act within their scene and toured all the strongholds of electronic music.
Yet heavy touring and the highly demanding creative output of so many excellent albums in quick succession took their toll. After the release of “Tales from Another World” (2002) and an exhausting US tour, Beborn Beton went on an extended hiatus. 13 years later, Beborn Beton returned with a new album on Dependent Recordings to the delight and surprise of their still huge following. “A Worthy Compensation” (2015) was showered with accolades from the relevant magazines. Having learned from previous experiences and not to fall back into a relentless production cycle, Beborn Beton took their time to write another masterpiece.
“Darkness Falls Again” had all the delicious ingredients that make synth-pop so great: Catchy songs that make your legs twitch. A pinch of melancholy. A dose of irony. But also a pinch of anger. Beborn Beton have again delivered music with a meaning with their latest album and this continues full steam ahead on the “To the Stars” EP. Welcome back again, Beborn Beton!
The “To The Stars” EP will be released on November 22, 2024 as a 7-track (“Deep Space Sparkle”) vinyl and as a 10-track download version.
