Einstürzende Neubauten "Silence is Sexy"


One of their finest albums, Silence is Sexy mixes their most "industrial sounds" with a rather new melancholic side of Einstürzende Neubauten.
My favourite song featured here is for sure "Sabrina"- which was also the first song I've listened of them, thanks to the videoclip (one of the best I've seen).
Blixa Bargeld as a particular voice, since he can sing with his characteristic screams and/or with a more Nick-Cave-ish touch: which is something to be admired. I also love "Dingsallen" and "Silence is Sexy".
You can listen to the album here and the password is this one: bunalti.com

Perry Blake "Still Life"



Today I got to see Leonard Cohen play live here in Lisbon. I filmed it but the image wasn't still, it kind of sucks. I mentioned Cohen here because he's one of the influences of Perry Blake.
Perry Blake is an awesome artist. His downtempo masterpieces drag you onto a world of melancholic loneliness, swirling your ears with slow sounds and beautiful lyrics. This is his second album and has got lots of songs that I admire: "War in France", "Give me back my childhood" and "This Time it's goodbye".
You should hear his music. Try it here or by clicking the image.

Down there I show you a video of his song "War in France":
