PINK TURNS BLUE – 2025 – Single Nr. 3 “Dancing with Ghosts”
Pioneering darkwave / postpunk outfit Pink Turns Blue
On Friday Feb 7, the third single from the upcoming album “BLACK SWAN” will be released on all major digital platforms!
An exclamation to escape a complicated relationship.
Dancing With Ghosts is a song about our difficulty of breaking out of an unhealthy bond.
Some last a lifetime – and are not good for us at all. They suck all our energy, never give, always take. And whatever we do, it’s never right and never good enough.
And since it’s often our best friend, mother, or sister, it feels like we owe them something, but every time we try to do something good for them, we just feel miserable and used.
There is no easy way out, because whatever we do, we lose.
These spirits will haunt us forever unless we challenge them and eventually manage to leave them behind.
We’re Dancing With Ghosts.

“One of the most ethically driven and environmentally conscious post-punk artists of our time… this latest offering is sure to go down in the band’s record as one of PTB’s most powerful releases” ~ The Spill Magazine
“Consistent purveyors of quality guitar-laden post punk and dark-bent indie rock… one of the most honest and most direct enduring acts in post punk today” ~ Destroy // Exist
“The timeless message is driven home with a timeless sound composed with refined effect” ~ Post-Punk.com
“There are bands which have had high ranks in the charts and still have a place deep in the heart of many fans. One of those bands is the German Dark Wave legend Pink Turns Blue” ~ Reflections of Darkness
“‘You Still Mean Too Much To Me’ from their ‘Tainted LP, an anthemic song that channels a personalized situation to dark sonic gold. We’ve all been there – this music is emotionally harsh and sublime” – The Big Takeover
“When it comes to actual darkwave, Berlin’s Pink Turns Blue are rightly regarded as one of the founding acts… up to the present, they have also been one of the finer exemplars of continental postpunk” ~ CVLT Nation
After their worldwide success with their album ‘Tainted’ and their often-sold-out club concerts in America and Europe, the next studio album of the post-punk legends from Berlin will be released on Feb 28 2025, followed by a club tour through Germany in April.
The new album and the tour are titled “BLACK SWAN”, the term for an unexpected event, which in retrospect is justified as if one could have prepared for it.
With their last album and accompanying tour, Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Luca Sammuri (bass) and Paul Richter (drums) have cleared pretty much everything you could wish for as a band. Album of the Year at Byte FM, best of 2021 at Post Punk Com, singles at number 1 in the German Alternative Charts as well as the Indie Disco Top 40, excellent reviews in the worldwide music press and very well attended, if not sold-out club concerts from Los Angeles to Yerevan, especially in Germany, of course.
There will be some single pre-releases, then the album on vinyl, Compact Disk and download/streaming on February 28 and finally the German tour in April/May before it goes around the world again. Please find the complete biography on Pink Turns Blue – Wikipedia

LYRICS:
Dancing With Ghosts
I’ve got to go now you’re eating my soul
I’ve got to kill all love, or I will fall
I need to bury you now to stop the pain
Our love needs to end now or I’m going insane
Go Dancing with Ghosts Now
Just leave me alone now to live my life
Could strive for happiness because this would be right
Can fuck up without you don’t need you at all
Can grow with a challenge but can’t solve yours
Go Dancing with Ghosts Now
I’m trying to reach the light
Trying to get to the other side
I’m trying to pass the door
Because I know there’s so much more
And find my own keys to life
To reach the stairs of heaven alright
Been part of yours for too long
Now it’s time to live my own, my own
To live my own life
Go Dancing with Ghosts Now
