The release of Lebanon Hanover’s debut album in 2012 was a watershed moment in the post-punk music scene internationally, and highly influential on all the music European darkwave music to follow throughout the decade.

This album is meanwhile a classic record of the genre, where LH explore their own dreamworld across eleven timeless cold wave anthems. Album comes with a foldout LH poster, printed inner sleeve with lyrics, and download card
