Berlin post-punk outfit Agatha Is Dead! join forces with fellow Berlin artist Schramm on ‘Cold-Hearted’, the latest preview of their forthcoming debut album Concrete. Rooted in brooding emotion yet impossible to stand still to, the track captures everything that makes gothic post-punk so enduringly captivating.

Drawing clear inspiration from the atmospheric melancholy of The Cure and Joy Division, ‘Cold-Hearted’ delivers an authentic slice of Berlin’s dark alternative scene. Driving basslines, angular guitars, urgent drums and haunting vocals lock together effortlessly, while Schramm’s atmospheric presence complements Lilly’s voice beautifully, adding another layer to the song’s emotional intensity.

Despite its introspective themes, ‘Cold-Hearted’ pulses with an irresistible momentum that feels tailor-made for a dimly lit club. The accompanying video mirrors that mood perfectly, pairing shadowy visuals with bodies moving together on the dancefloor. Dark, intense and utterly immersive, it’s another compelling glimpse into what promises to be a striking debut album.
