NEW RELEASE!
Founded 2005 in Hagen (the Rugby England of western Germany), the Blue Angel Lounge have rapidly moved to the forefront on the growing german neo-psychedelic and shoegaze rock scene, taking cues from bands such as Nico and The Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Culling and marrying these outside influences alongside those of their native german krautrock forefathers (Can, NEU!, Faust), they have managed to confidently bend and craft stunningly beautiful layers of of soundscape and lyricism that belong to them alone.
In 2008, BAL was invited to play the Dream Machine Festival in Sheffield, which led to the contribution of their song The God to the Open Your Mind compilation which was to be pronounced DIY Compilation Of The Week by the BBC in 2009.
Signed to 8MM Musik since 2009, their self produced self-titled debut album was released in January 2010 Europewide via Cargo Records Germany. The band is currently in the studio working on their second record with production assistance from Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre).
