Berlin-based Dina Summer delivers an exhilarating sophomore album with Girls Gang, set to release on January 24, 2025, via Iptamenos Discos. The band, known for blending dark disco with EBM, explores new territory by incorporating elements of new wave, post-punk, and synth-pop, creating an album that feels richer and more mature than their 2022 debut, Rimini.
Frontwoman Dina’s vocal performance is a highlight, offering a mix of sultry spoken word and captivating melodies that elevate the album’s narrative themes. Tracks like the title song “Girls Gang” exude empowerment, combining hypnotic whispers with pulsating basslines, while “Promise Me,” a collaboration with Curses, immerses listeners in a desperately romantic tone heightened by Joshua Murphy’s guitar work. The emotional breadth of this record is impressive, from the euphoric nostalgia of “Halkidiki” to the melancholic yearning in “Zombie.”
While retaining their signature retro-futuristic charm, Dina Summer crafts a more accessible and versatile collection with Girls Gang. The addition of live instrumentation, like real bass and guitar, alongside their characteristic electronic soundscapes, adds depth and authenticity. This album is a must-listen for fans of indie-pop anthems and dark club bangers alike.
