After 14 years, Bauhaus released a new song
After 14 years, the goth rock band released a new song earlier this year. The track, titled Drinking New, was developed using a ‘refined zombie’ approach, allowing the producer to add sound elements and only see the final result at the end.
In a statement at the time, the band stated:
“Bauhaus has used this strategy to great success in the past.” The title refers to the first Cadavre exquis artwork created by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert and Yves Tanguy, consisting of phrases strung together to form the line, “Le cadavre exquis boiara le” vin nouveau.”
The band’s current lineup of Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and David J. Bauhaus are considered pioneers of Goth rock and were formed in 1978, when they were known for their dark image and somber music. They also incorporate several styles, such as dub, glam rock, psychedelic and funk. They released their first song, Bela Lugosi’s Dead, in 1979, and it is considered one of the forerunners of gothic rock.
At Flat Field, their debut album is considered one of the earliest gothic rock records. Mask, their second album, was released in 1981. The band’s third album, The Sky’s Gone Out, was a financial success, peaking at #4 in the UK Albums Chart that year. 1982.
The band also peaked at number 15 in the singles chart that year, thanks to David Bowie’s solo performance of Ziggy Stardust. After Murphy became ill in 1983, a rift broke out between the members. As a result, the group disbanded on July 5, 1983. Eventually, the band reformed to tour in 1998, then again from 2005 to 2008 and again in 2019.
