    Five years after the compilation album “Open Wounds”, Italian ‘suicide pop’ trio Spiritual Front will release its new album, “Amour Braque” via Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. French for ‘Mad Love’, “Amour Braque” is conceptually described as “a sincere and cruel analysis of what love/sex relations are, a path that switches between tenderness and rot”.

    Five years after the compilation album “Open Wounds”, Italian ‘suicide pop’ trio Spiritual Front will release its new album, “Amour Braque” via Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. French for ‘Mad Love’, “Amour Braque” is conceptually described as “a sincere and cruel analysis of what love/sex relations are, a path that switches between tenderness and rot”.

    Formed in 1999 as the solo project of Simone H. Salvatori, Spiritual Front dubs its sound “catchy ballads for heartbreaker nihilist youth”; its Morricone-inspired neofolk channels art rock, tango, new wave and country influences through a modern lens. Spiritual Front’s unique musical identity is a reflection of Salvatori’s savoir-faire which sees the frontman as a sort of Machiavellian playboy, merging Las Vegas-esque pomp and stomp with a surly suggestiveness, lending the band’s sound a hedonistic flair. The lyrical themes shared by Salvatori deal with issues such as searching for self-identity, sexuality, harsh realities and angry break-ups, each tinted with sarcasm, nihilism and biting humor. In its time as a band, Spiritual Front has contributed to the soundtracks of the TV series “Las Vegas” and the motion picture “Saw 2” as well as independent films, theatre productions and modern ballets.

    “Amour Braque” is Spiritual Front’s sixth full-length album. The record combines gloomy alternative rock, dark folk and chamber pop with standout 60’s blues rock vibes. Featuring striking cover art by cult surrealist artist Saturno Buttò, “Amour Braque” features guest musicians Matt Howden, King Dude, Client and more.

    The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices Featuring Lisa Gerrard ‎– Shandai Ya / Stanka (Vinyl LP | Black)
    Label: Prophecy PRO 243 LP
    Format: Vinyl, 12″, EP
    Country: Europe
    Released: 17 Apr 2020
    Genre: Folk, World, & Country

    Otherworldly female vocals from extraordinary performers have always been the trademark of world-famous choir ensemble The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices (formerly known as «Les Mystères Des Voix Bulgares»). After an almost 20-year hiatus due to the death of producer Marcel Cellier, the choir released its critically acclaimed comeback «BooCheeMish» in 2018 together with esteemed guest vocalist Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), combining magnificent vocals from various stylistic backgrounds and traditional Bulgarian instruments with modern elements like beatboxing. The ensemble and its host of guests embarked on a successful tour in 2018 and 2019, performing in renowned concert venues such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, The Netherlands or L’Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium.

    Summer 2020 sees a continuation of the choir’s live activities in Europe, and the new 7-track EP «Shandai Ya / Stanka» presents the strongest songs from «BooCheeMish» in even more refined versions alongside two exclusive tracks – an impressive live rendition of Gerrard’s solo composition ‘Rite Of Passage’ from a concert in Warsaw, Poland and ‘Zaidi Sluntse’, a collaboration between the choir and beatbox world champion SkilleR, marrying vocal skills that could not be more contrastive to great effect.

    Tracklist:
    1. Shandai Ya (Version)
    2. Stanka (Choir Version)
    3. Zaidi Sluntse (Previously unreleased)
    4. Mome Malenko (Radio Edit)
    5. Rano Ranila (Version)
    6. Rite Of Passage (Live in Warsaw)
    7. Shandai Ya

    Edition:

    Peter Ulrich ‎– Pathways And Dawns

    febrero 5, 2024

    Peter Ulrich ‎– Pathways And Dawns
    Label: Infinite Fog Productions ‎– IF-103LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 2020
    Style: Folk Rock, Ethereal, Folk

    Tthe first vinyl
    edition of Peter Ulrich’s debut solo album “Pathways And Dawns”.
    Widely known for his past work as drummer/percussionist with legendary Dead Can Dance and contributor to 4AD’s This Mortal Coil, Ulrich emerges here as a writer of hauntingly beautiful melodies
    and deeply poetic lyrics. “Pathways And Dawns” is packed with driving rhythms and meditative ritual patterns of percussion. With some inspired guitar-work, arrangement, and production from DCD mastermind Brendan Perry, the result is a pure delight…

    The album was recorded in two parts, the first in England in 1990, and the second after a long time break in 1996-97, by Brendan Perry at DCD’s Quivvy Church studio in Ireland. The album was released on CD in 1999 on the US label Projekt and was dubbed by critics as «the album the Beatles might have made had the group signed with 4AD instead of Capitol» and «a wonderful collection of songs that, while in the 4AD school, shimmers with an inner lightness that makes it very different «.

    This absolute masterpiece of spiritual music, so badly wanted on vinyl for so long, is available now. Mastered from Original master takes by Martin Bowes (Attrition).
