New German Cinema - Pain Will Polish Me (2026) [Hi-Res]

'Pain Will Polish Me' is the debut solo album by Jessica Weiss (Fear of Men), developed over five years under the profound influence of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s cinema. Musically, the work is a layered dark-pop collection blending the aesthetics of Italo disco, gothic club anthems, and cold Berlin synth-wave. Thematically, the album explores the delicate boundary between intimacy and control, utilizing classical art imagery and personal experience to reflect on the concept of creation through destruction.
