Releasedate: 16-09-2011; Label: Silverbird Music (rough trade)
By: Nina Mende
In 2003 Pete Brough, one of the founder-members of German band Twelve Drummers Drumming, and Ralf Aussem, guitarist from the original 12DD cast, founder and mastermind behind Sun (German band), joined forces with vocalist Carlo van Putten and collectively gave life to Dead Guitars. In addition to being a principal writer and lead vocalist with German band The Convent, Carlo van Putten also had a flourishing partnership with the late Adrian Borland, mastermind behind the British cult band The Sound, under the name White Rose Transmission and has worked with various others over the course of the years, including Marty Willson-Piper of The Church (band) and Mark Burgess of The Chameleons.
Now their new and third album “Strangers” is being released. Eleven tracks covered by a silhouette covered in fog. Calm New Wave music is coming at you when pushing play. Slow and melodic, foggy, floating along until it wrapped your thoughts completely. Thoughtful lyrics creating a world of their own and guide your thoughts through it. Dead Guitars’ new album “Stranger” is not of the aggressive kind, but more floating along in the background. It is also a great album to relax and get your mind off things. A beautiful new album by Dead Guitars. “Strangers”, out now.
