Surging out of early-’80s Hamburg with little more than conviction, style, and the raw force of punk’s DIY ethos, Xmal Deutschland forged a sound that felt both feral and hypnotic. 'Early Singles (1981–1982)' documents the band’s first transmissions—bold, abrasive, and unmistakably theirs. Opening with the 1981 single "Schwarze Welt", the collection captures the moment when five women with no formal musical background turned instinct into electricity. These early recordings vibrate with tension: repetitive dirges, buzzing guitars, stark percussion, and the swirling pull of crude synthesizer lines. At the center is Anja Huwe’s venomous, incantatory voice—German-language vocals delivered with a ghostly bite that instantly set Xmal Deutschland apart within the rising shadows of Europe’s underground.

The release also includes the pivotal 1982 single "Incubus Succubus", a defining post-punk anthem whose ghoulish energy, militaristic beats, and spectral melodicism pushed the band beyond the confines of the Neue Deutsche Welle movement. Its b-sides—"Zu Jung Zu Alt" and "Blut Ist Liebe"—continue that tense, agitated drive. 'Early Singles (1981–1982)' stands as a vital document of Xmal Deutschland at their most primal—artful, abrasive, and laying the groundwork for the dark elegance that would soon carry them across Europe.
