Chrislo Haas and Beate Bartel’s collaborative work as CHBB is to be given its first official reissue.
Out later this week, the release takes in all nine tracks that appeared across four ultra-limited cassettes released by the duo in 1981, as well as 11 previously unreleased cuts that the pair recorded together. You can listen to some of the music from the collection below.
Haas and Bartel’s work as CHBB came just before they formed the short-lived Liaisons Dangereuses project with vocalist Krishna Goineau later in 1981. Each of the CHBB tapes was limited to just 50 copies, and the material featured explores the kinds of EBM and new wave sounds associated with the Neue Deutsche Welle movement that Haas and Bartel were part of as early members of D.A.F. and Einstürzende Neubauten respectively.
Soulsheriff will release CHBB on June 21, 2024.
