Lebanon Hanover – The World Is Getting Colder

The release of Lebanon Hanover's debut album in 2012 was a watershed moment in the post-punk music scene internationally, and highly influential on all the music European darkwave music to follow throughout the decade. The album is icy, playful, and irreverent, it is both a bitter laugh and sorrowful grin etched on Conrad Veidt's face. Each song is unhesitant and unselfconscious with it's compositional minimalism and emotional candor, which in it's simplicity belies the album's cohesiveness in theme, a trend to unyieldingly continue in subsequent records, especially Lebanon Hanover's first trilogy of LPs. This album is meanwhile a classic record of the genre, where LH explore their own dreamworld across eleven timeless cold wave anthems. Album comes with a foldout LH poster, printed inner sleeve with lyrics, and download card.
