German synthpop duo Heldautomat release 'Anders Sein' today through Town & Towers Records.
The single reinterprets a 1994 track by Second Decay, connecting contemporary synthpop directly with the German electronic underground of the 1990s.
Cover versions become particularly interesting when they expose lineage rather than simply reproduce a familiar hit, and 'Anders Sein' operates in exactly that way. Heldautomat's version brings modern production to material originating in a very different technological environment while retaining its dark electronic character.
For listeners following synthpop, darkwave and EBM-adjacent music, today's release provides a compact bridge between generations of German electronic songwriting.
