Brand New Faces EP (Ltd. Edition - 200 Copies!)
Hamburg-based post-punk revivalists Joy Forever have unveiled their debut EP "Brand New Faces", a raw and compelling 5-track collection that dives deep into themes of dissociation, routine, capitalism, and disillusionment, all filtered through the lens of life in their city. With dark, driving, and atmospheric soundscapes, the band weaves reverb-soaked guitars, urgent drums, heavy basslines, and emotive vocals into songs that balance intensity with vulnerability.
Brand New Faces is both confrontational and cathartic, a textured statement of intent from a young band carving out their identity in the German underground. The record offers a glimpse into an urban reality that feels at once deeply personal and eerily universal, one that many listeners will recognize as their own.
The EP was recorded in Brighton with producer Theo Verney (Lime Garden, English Teacher) and mastered at Metropolis Studios by Felix Davis (The Horrors, Geese), lending the release an international edge. Within the German music landscape, Brand New Faces stands as uncharted territory, a bold early marker of a new wave of sounds and ideas rising from the country’s underground.
