Berlin-based indie/electro-wave trio Dina Summer has just released their latest single, “Schall & Rauch” (translated as “Sound and Smoke”), marking the third preview from their sophomore album, “Girls Gang”, due out January 24, 2025, via Iptamenos Discos. The single features a fast-paced beat and melancholic, yet euphoric harmonies.
The track is part of a broader collection in “Girls Gang”, which explores diverse themes such as empowerment, outsiderhood, and impermanence. Previous singles from the album include “Halkidiki”, a dreamy track inspired by Greece, and “Alien”, a dancefloor-oriented track.
On Bandcamp the album will be completed with 11 tracks, 4 are now available.
The band, formed in 2020, is a collaboration between Kalipo (from electro-punk band Frittenbude) and dark-disco duo Local Suicide. Dina Summer’s previous work includes the 2022 album “Rimini”, which delved into retro disco influences, and the 2021 EP “Who Am I”.
