Since 1980, composer and instigator Bilxa Bargeld's Berlin brainchild Einsturzende Neubauten has blurred the boundaries between industrial, punk, electronica and more. From its early work featuring hand-made instruments of scrap metal to its current embrace of tech and the internet, the noise pioneer has stayed quite busy.
Last year, Einsturzende Neubauten's twelfth original full-length Alles Wieder Offen (All is Open) was released without a backing label, and this summer's Jewels will be released on the band's own Potomak imprint. Listening Post stole a peek at Bargeld's liner notes for Jewels:
