The Highest Point

"From the highest peak to the deepest vale..." These words not only open "The Highest Point," the latest single from Berlin’s Golden Apes, but also encapsulate the song’s sweeping emotional and sonic journey. From its panoramic, ethereal introduction to the raw, guitar-driven intensity of the verses - before returning to moments of quiet reflection - the track masterfully navigates every corner of the band’s musical landscape. Hovering synthesizers, sharp-edged guitars, and dynamic rhythms intertwine with rich, atmospheric textures, creating a hauntingly beautiful fusion of melody and melancholy. Marking the path toward their upcoming album, set for release in 2026, "The Highest Point" stands as a shimmering Post-Punk/Darkwave gem - offering a compelling glimpse of what’s to come (F.M.)

ABOUT

From the veiny rivers of melancholy to the craggy rocks of disturbance, from the glaciated deserts of bleakness to the vast oceans of longing, from the lightless chasms of despair to the highest peaks piercing a bright sky - you can't put your finger on an emotional map and find certainty about the place the music of Golden Apes will bring you to. It is all in there and on opposite poles at the same time, an atlas shaping and changing with every sound that enters your ears, with every syllable that enters your head. Trojan harmonies ...

And from their debut "Stigma 3.am" (2000) to their highly acclaimed "KASBEK" (2019) the Golden Apes manage to deny any kind of tangibility, step back behind the music like being messengers only, delivering the map that guides you, leads you out to the land of swarms, to the places that scare and shelter you ... to the rivers and the deserts ...

The new album "Our Ashes At The End Of The Day" is out now.
