The Blue Angel Lounge

German neo-psychedelic rock band

The Blue Angel Lounge was a German neo-psychedelic band that emerged in the late 2000s. Formed in Hagen, Germany, by Nils Ottensmeyer and Dennis Melster, the band drew inspiration from the post-punk and psychedelic movements of the 1980s, blending these influences into their own distinctive sound. They gained recognition for their atmospheric music and introspective lyrics. The band's self-titled debut album "The Blue Angel Lounge" was released in 2009, followed by "Narcotica" in 2010, which further established their presence in the underground music scene. Their work is characterized by haunting melodies and a brooding ambiance that resonates with fans of the genre. Over time, they garnered a following that appreciated their unique blend of darkly tinged psychedelia and shoegaze elements. The compilation "In Times 2006-2010" features tracks from this formative period of their career. The Blue Angel Lounge has been noted for contributing to the revival of psychedelic sounds in contemporary music.
