Plattenbau (commie block in German) is an international Berlin-based foursome that fuses elements of post-punk, noise rock and wave into a dark and intense potion. Their sound blends robotic drums, gothy basslines, mystical guitars and paranoid synths into a mood akin to a 90s VHS horror soundtrack, tied together with deep, brooding vocals. The result is a sonic experience that feels both chaotic and meticulously crafted, on brand with their slogan “Tight, loose and evil”.
The band formed in 2011, inspired by the brutalist architecture of east Berlin’s post-Soviet landscape. A mainstay of the Berlin underground scene, over the years the band evolved in members and instrumentation until solidifying its current lineup: Lewis Lloyd (Vox/Synth), Sally Brown (Bass/Vox), Brandon Walsh (Drums) and Jesper Munk (Guitar/Synth).
Following their signing to Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place To Bury Strangers/Death By Audio) label Dedstrange in 2021, Plattenbau released their 2nd and 3rd studio albums “Shape / Shifting” (2022) and “Net Prophet” (2023) which they promoted on extensive tours across Europe and in 2023 at SXSW and NYC’s New Colossus festival, including the closing show at Bowery Ballroom with A Place To Bury Strangers.
