Vlimmer – Luftmangel

Infused with dark sound­scapes and car­ried by a pro­found mel­an­choly, the German artist Vlimmer presents us with his latest song "Luftmangel". This music­al com­pos­i­tion from the dark wave genre takes us on an emo­tion­al jour­ney that unfolds its full effect espe­cially on gloomy days and in moments of self-reflec­tion. The song is part of the bonus CD of the album 'Zerschöpfung'.

Right at the begin­ning of the track, the expans­ive ana­logue synth sounds catch the ear, exud­ing a touch of nos­tal­gia and inev­it­ably remin­is­cent of the early years of Depeche Mode. But Vlimmer knows how to skil­fully inter­weave these ele­ments and cre­ate a unique sound tapestry of his own. The intro could just as well be the pre­lude to an 80s EBM hit, and therein lies the strength of "Luftmangel" – it com­bines clas­sic synth ele­ments with mod­ern dark wave.

The mood of the song is deeply mel­an­chol­ic and sombre, giv­ing it an almost hyp­not­ic effect. It feels like walk­ing through an impen­et­rable fog, with the dis­tinct­ive synth sounds act­ing like light­houses in the dark­ness. The gloomy atmo­sphere inev­it­ably draws you in and makes you lose your­self in thought. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2023‘.
