Info: | LIEBE is Rue Oberkampf’s
long-awaited second Album and can be seen as a reflection on the last
two years - what we’ve lost, what we’re longing
for. Singer Julia de Jouy mourns the loss of club culture and
life’s ecstatic moments in general, blending English/French
spoken words with unexpected melodic vocals. The diversity of all those
kinds of missing “LIEBE” (love) matches Rue
Oberkampf’s sounds, moving back and forth between 90s EBM-
and techno-fused stompers to surprisingly gothy synth pop and darkwave
tracks. Rue Oberkampf, which is DJ/producer team Julia de Jouy, Oliver
Maier and Damien De-Vir, have their roots in early industrial, techno
and goth music and are always forging a bridge between different
electronic subcultures. In combination with the on-point mixing by Daniel Hallhuber (Young and Cold Records), LIEBE creates a heavy, but crystal clear sound. LIEBE is mastered by industrial artist Eric van Wonterghem (Absolute Body Control, Monolith, Klinik), whose style is a perfect match to Rue Oberkampf since their first release in 2018. With her album artwork, Merchbabe (Kinnat Sóley) created the perfect visual twin for LIEBE. Based on a photography by Silvie Tillard and combined with a lettering by tattoo artist Ehidne Slime, the design confuses the observer with an eerie uncanny valley effect that reminds them of 90s punk and techno aesthetics. |
