Born from the wish to merge their wildly varying tastes in music, the members of Voodoo Beach have a long history of playing an eclectic brand of dark psychedelic rock. Inspired by Sonic Youth, The Horrors and Slowdive, the Berliner underground act have been turning contradiction to creativity for almost 10 years, releasing a series of impressively balanced EPs before their lead singer and guitar player decided to quit. On the brink of dissolution the band were saved by Heike Rädeker, founding member of German cult noise rockers 18th Dye, who was a fan of the band and who instantly decided to join them on hearing of their upcoming demise.

Returning from the edge of the abyss, Voodoo Beach brim with an unmistakable lust for life on the nine tracks that comprise their debut full-length.

Being two years in the making, »Wonderful Life« is a natural extension of the group’s signature blend of indie rock, jangle pop and neo-psychedelia, while the extended time of writing and recording allowed the band to add an inspiring degree of depth to their sound. They say the devil is in the details, but voodoo is in the constant war drums that resonate in the night sky. The resolution of Voodoo Beach carries through in every vibration of their music and these tracks are a testament to their lasting creativity and collaboration. »Wonderful Life« is a bildungsroman of sorts about a band that was meant to meet its untimely demise, but lucky for us all Voodoo Beach are still at it with this amazing record.

“One of the most thrilling records in German-language post-punk for 2023.” — Visions

“More darkness, more primal force, accompanied by subtle textures and endless sonic journeys – the ingredients for their first collaborative work blend seamlessly, offering high entertainment value.” — Beatblogger

“On »Wonderful Life« you can explore both facets of the coin – the abyssal, tragic, and agonizing, alongside hope, grace, and a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.” — Suffissocore

“»Wonderful Life« presents a beautiful mix of eerie and dreamy. Its shoegazey ghostly tone and note choices throughout the beginning feel like the gothy ’80s party you always wanted to go to. An atmosphere that feels right out of a Stephen King film adaptation intro it’s hard not to feel the fall vibes easing in as you listen.” — Everything Is Noise
