Berlin Post-Punk Outfit Golden Apes Climb From the Depths Toward the Light on The Sun Came Up Tremendously

Golden Apes, a Berlin post-punk band active for over twenty years, released The Sun Came Up Tremendously, the second installment in a planned trilogy following 2024’s Our Ashes at the End of the Day. Recorded at Thommy Hein Studios between late 2025 and early 2026, the album features ten songs spanning post-punk, dark wave, gothic rock, dreampop, and alternative rock. The band, led by vocalist and keyboardist Peer Lebrecht alongside guitarists Maximilian Hennig and Stephan Schoenfeld, bassist Christian Lebrecht, and drummer Salomon Bosse, draws influences from The Cure, Chameleons, and Lowlife while maintaining a distinctive sound. The album showcases Lebrecht’s baritone voice and the band’s ability to balance dramatic arrangements with restraint, moving between severe club tracks and expansive ballads without sounding indecisive. Released through Icy Cold Records, the album reflects the band’s extensive touring history and practical understanding of post-punk traditions.
