“It’s been a while coming, listening back this morning, worth every second of the wait. So honoured to be a part of this masterpiece. It’s one of best records I’ve ever made. Peter is such a powerful force of nature. He doesn’t have to do anything …He just is.
It’s a fearless show, a grand reveal, it’s an epic movie. It’s punk, post punk, electronic cold, hot glam dandy, camp and dangerous. It’s a Sinatra, Iggy, Bowie séance, black velvet over an iron fist.
Dark, black shiny night and blinding bright white. Epic emotional and intimate, vast and tiny, polished and raw….channeling the collective soul of the Earth through an obsidian prism of joy and defiance.
I could go on…..
….With the direction, we’ve avoided a few terrains and dived in deeply to others, that juxtaposition paradoxically makes it sounds quite unique and or out there on its own but there are parallels.
Scott Walker, Brecht and other great baritones, Ulver for their polished metal pop sheen. Euro electro, ambient, glam, trance it’s all in there . There’s a fair bit of prog too, King Crimson is close and of course having Danny (Carey) and Justin (Chancellor) from Tool on board brings that closer to home, juxtapose all that with another great baritone, Boy George, and then Trent too, it’s a feast for the eyes and ears. I’ve been listening on repeat and it still throws me on the floor…”
