Mängelexemplar – Neu Zukunft (Digital/Vinyl Album – Infacted Recordings)

Mängelexemplar, a German synth-wave duo from Düsseldorf active since 2011, released their third full-length album “Neue Zukunft” on March 27, 2026 via Infacted Recordings, with a limited vinyl edition from Carisma Studios. The eleven-track record marks their return since 2020’s “Non Plus Ultra.” The title track exemplifies the band’s minimal-wave and electro foundation, featuring Kraftwerk-influenced synth textures and robotic vocals. While the opening track ranks among recent electro’s finest achievements, the album maintains consistently high quality throughout, blending warm vintage production with 80s drum machine aesthetics and subtle EBM elements. Predominantly sung in German with one English-language closing track, “Neue Zukunft” demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship and contemporary sensibilities. The reviewer awarded the album a 9/10 rating, recommending it to enthusiasts of classic electro, minimal-wave, and intelligent electronic music.
