Born in East London in 2010, COLD IN BERLIN quickly graduated from the local scene’s fleeting gothic revival into one of the UK underground’s most revered live acts. Fronted by the commanding and fierce vocal performances of Maya, the band forges dark post-punk, doom, and krautrock into a singular sonic force — equal parts raw power and bleak beauty, as heavy as it is haunting.
“‘The Stranger’ is a song that is meant to allow for multiple interpretations… It can be a song about addiction – the wound that doesn’t heal. Or you can understand it as a story about finding your place in the world. And the third possibility is that ‘The Stranger’ is a song about that sharp kind of love at first sight that can overwhelm, offering freedom and constraint all at once.” – COLD IN BERLIN says vocalist Maya, about the new single. ‘‘‘The Stranger’ can be all these things – a healer, a cage, an addiction, but it is most definitely a call into the darkness, reaching out to the listener to join us in the howl of life, to wake up the bones and the skin. Be with us in the noise and know that whatever it is that led you to us, we are grateful you are home.”
