Bauhaus‘ post-punk Goth icon PETER MURPHY (now 67) made a surprising return last November with a goosebumps power pop ballad duet, named Let The Flowers Grow
withBoy George
Now he’s back on his own with a new fantastic,
booming discotheque banger called SWOON.
The first piece from his upcoming 10th solo LP, his first in 11 years. It’s baptized Silver Shade and lands on May 9th. It’s produced by renowned producer Youth (Pink Floyd,
The Verve, Crowded House, member of Killing Joke, The Orb, The Firemen w/Paul McCartney).
TUTV: Carpe diem. A cliché? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But life is far more complex than a simple cliché, you can’t control it on a daily basis. But one thing is undisputable,
we all have to go one day. So, yes, let’s at least try to make the best of it.
For instance, by falling in love with this immensely passionate powerhouse album.
A record about “youth, memory, relationships, and how the relentless passage of time shapes and constantly reshapes all of those things. It’s the realization that things won’t—can’t—last forever, and trying to make sense of the gap between youthful dreams and very adult realities.”
It all starts with two head-over-heel riff-rushing rippers reminiscent of the razzle-dazzle explosiveness of Pixies. Afterward Kasador keep on rockin’ in their free world on the intensely emotive corkers Quite Your Crying, The City, Changing and Lock On, turning up the heated fever with a non-stop avalanche of red-hot-blooded licks and left/right hooks and last but not least guitarist Cameron Wyatt‘s sky-scraping voice, prominently present on all
8 tracks.
Youth ends with the majestic power pop ballad Crawling
and the melancholic and bluesy lullaby gem Younger Days.
Young or old, whatever, if you’re looking for heart-and-soul stirring music to make you feel alive and kicking than I suggest you discover this all genuine killers, no fake fillers record.
