In “Operation Schönheit” (German for “Operation Beauty”), he has recorded his most, well, beautiful album to date. But Benedikt Frey’s warm production subverts it’s own beauty with a multitude of clanking and ingling synth sounds, making the work very much about the cosmetic surgery it performs on itself. It’s all in the tradition of the more experimental and electronic side of post-punk in which Imler and his unique groove are rooted. It doesn’t take insider knowledge of Berlin’s post-punk underground to realise that that Imler groove consists of rhythm that sings, vocals that dance and a look that fits, as illustrated by “Disappoint Me”, his latest video.
