Finally, 6 years after their latest album, here comes the 11th Studio Album by the German Electro-Wave act, founded by Torben Wendt in 1996! Coming in a nice 6-panel fold-out Digipak (see picture below). Radiant pop hymns from Diorama’s darkroom. ‘a substitute for light’ revolves around the many faces of light - as promise, guidance, and deception. It flickers in screens, reflects off surfaces, and lets memories fade into shadow. Between discarded love and digital paralysis, the songs search for a true spark - born of consciousness, not electricity. On their eleventh studio album, diorama prove that less can be more: clear arrangements, striking melodies, and vocals with real punch. Between club-ready energy, hypnotic ballads, and floating melancholy, the sound ignites instantly - and lingers long after. Comfort in the darkness. A substitute for light…
