“At once a time capsule of a sound rooted in the early 80s and a window to the future, Fixed Lens is beautifully poised, powerful songwriting.” Post-Punk.com, Berlin Duo Fixed Lens Focus on Old-School Post-Punk Anthems with Fantastic Debut Cassette (05 May 2021)
A true exemplar of Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft, FIXED LENS emerged from the smoke-filled basement rooms of Berlin’s DIY scene in 2021 with their eponymous debut EP. Cold, driving machinery beats and ethereal synths establish the foundation for melancholic, chorus-drenched post-punk guitars.
A collaboration between machinist Matthias Gaese and singer/guitarist Robert Hanna, FIXED LENS paints a dystopian picture of an impending future, marred by an incessant surveillance state, colony collapse, and the dreary malaise of a society in decay.
Championing the spirit of guitar-driven bands such as JOY DIVISION, KILLING JOKE, CHAMELEONS UK, and THE SOUND, the group simultaneously nods to the roots of Berlin’s electronic origin story.
