Booka Shade have announced that their 12th studio album, entitled For Real, will be released on 21 March on Blaufield Music.
The German electronic duo’s latest long player is the 150th release on the imprint, and has been preceded by a new single, Broken Glass – check it out here – as well as previous singles P.I.N. 4, (Neon Lights) They Glow, Save Me, and Your Command.
“There has long been a plan to delve deep into our archive and search for those lost ideas that have accumulated over the years,” Booka Shade‘s Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier commented on the new album. “Songs which, for whatever reason, didn’t fit onto one of our albums or EP’s, but we always really liked.
“At the beginning of 2024, it was finally time to tackle this project and to finalise some of these lost treasures. Now it‘s For Real.”

The 11-track album is described as a ‘journey of warm, emotive soundscapes, weaving together intricate melodies and rich harmonies with crisp, precise production’, and harks back to the ‘organic and melodic sound’ of Booka Shade’s EVE album.
The pair are embarking on a tour to coincide with the album’s release, with release parties scheduled for Säälchen in Berlin on 22 March and Earth Theatre in London on 28 March. Other tour dates are scheduled for Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Prague, Vienna, Cologne and Brighton, ahead of a series of festival appearances during the summer.
