Confessions 2010

All members of of Obscured By Pink are influenced by Pink Floyd. The band plays the music in it’s purist form; not like some of the band’s that fake it electronically. Hence the name Obscured By Pink. The band captures the essence of Pink Floyd’s finest moments. They focus on what made Pink Floyd into the band it became both before and after their commercial success. Also, the music created by Floyd during these days has become timeless. It can be enjoyed by all people of varying age groups, not just those entrenched in the period of the bands’ commercial period. Obscured By Pink was chosen as the name for the band to show the public that they weren’t really a copy-group. The band changes things (as Floyd did in the early days). This band is not a mechanical representation of one of the greatest bands in history. The band stands on it’s own and prefers it that way.

« À l'heure où ces lignes seront publiées, j'aurai trouvé en Dieu une nouvelle naissance. » Pendant près de 20 ans, Soeur Emmanuelle a rédigé ses mémoires, elle y est revenue incessamment, et jusque dans les derniers mois de son existence, pour les reprendre, les corriger et les enrichir. Ses Confessions d'une religieuse sont donc le livre le plus important qu'elle ait écrit. Le premier, car elle l'a débuté avant tous les autres, alors même qu'elle était encore en Égypte …

Die Form is chiefly the project of French artist Philippe Fichot, who is usually accompanied by singer Eliane P. Primarily an industrial band, Die Form possess a strong gothic sensibility that is manifested in both the music and in the fetishistic sexual imagery of Fichot's lyrics. The project began by recording a number of experimental cassette releases, starting with Die Form 1 in 1977, and with the first Die Form vinyl release ('Die Puppe') appearing in 1982. Whilst the project was still in its infancy, the underlying concepts were still evident - a combination of esoteric electronic experiments with an underlying theme of erotism, death and other 'taboo' subjects, apparent in both the music and the album artwork, which Philippe also produces.

The Marcus King Band have already given fans reason to believe they are destined for great things. At 22 years of age, Marcus King has been a bandleader for a decade and tipped as “music’s next great guitarist” by the Washington Post. But the band’s daring, ambitious new album, Carolina Confessions, marks an artistic leap of another order. Set for release on October 5th, 2018 on Fantasy Records, the album was produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and recorded at Nashville’s iconic RCA Studio A. And it finds the band’s trademark musicianship buoyed by a new narrative depth, as Marcus delves into heavy themes: absolution, guilt, leaving home, yearning, love and other affairs of the soul.
