Backline is excited to present:
RUE OBERKAMPF (Darkwave, Electonica / DE)
Rue Oberkampf are opening a new chapter.
Their new album Wehmut will be released on October 15, 2026 via Young and Cold Records. It is the
band’s most personal and atmospheric work to date – an invitation to step away from the sensory
overload of an increasingly digitalised world and to lose yourself in mysticism, nature and longing.
While Oliver Maier and Julia de Jouy have been known primarily for harder-hitting Darkwave tracks
such as “Glycine” and “Solitude”, Wehmut takes a quieter turn. The band combines their signature
synthesizers with organic soundscapes. The album’s six carefully crafted tracks draw the listener into
another world. Influences from Post Metal and Dark Folk blend naturally into the band’s established
sound. For the first time, an acoustic guitar also finds its place within this sonic universe. On Wehmut,
Julia de Jouy’s voice reveals more facets than ever before, unfolding a particular depth through finely
tuned mixing and mastering.
The idea for Wehmut grew from a desire to reconnect with something primal in an increasingly
digitalised age. Hikes through the Bavarian Forest and a solitary journey aboard a container ship on

The idea for Wehmut grew from a desire to reconnect with something primal in an increasingly
digitalised age. Hikes through the Bavarian Forest and a solitary journey aboard a container ship on
rough seas became key sources of inspiration for the album.
Over the past ten years, Rue Oberkampf have built an international reputation for their hypnotic,
audiovisual live shows. Sound, light and movement merge into an intense, immersive pull. From
October 2026, the band will bring Wehmut to stages across Germany, followed by international
appearances in 2027.
