Grauzone – Eisbär

Grauzone formed in Bern in 1980 and split barely two years later, leaving only a handful of tracks, but what tracks. "Eisbär", written by singer-guitarist Martin Eicher, is a high point of Swiss cold wave and of Neue Deutsche Welle, the German new wave the band shaped from across the border. Icy synth, a nagging bassline and that longing to become a polar bear who feels nothing, cut in 1981: it doesn't get much starker. This WRWTFWW reissue presses the track on coloured vinyl, backed by "FILM 2" and "Ich Lieb Sie". If you love the frostbitten early synth-pop sound, Grauzone still hits hard.
