Gunman & The Holy Ghost -The Story of Radiate and Novocaine CD
GUNMAN & THE HOLY GHOST is Hákon Aðalsteinsson. The talented frontman is renowned for his versatile work, for example as part of the Berlin based band The Third Sound. After the Icelander Aðalsteinsson struck camp in his home country and decided to built up a new life in Berlin, he needed more than one output for his overflowing creativity. The second album from the Gunman, The Story Of Radiate and Novocaine, was recorded in Berlin - a classic 8MM Musik move. The process moved from the East to the West and took over a year. Songwriters like Leonard Cohen andNick Cave are underlying influences - wonderful, smooth alt-country songs. The album is first and foremost one thing: misery ballads, which serenade opposites attracting and colliding. Love and separation, inner demons and the surreal aspects of human existence. Anton Newcombe, frontman of the legendary The Brian Jonestown Massacre, is a huge fan - the two singers know each other from other side projects with Tess Parks. The album will be released via Cargo on the 09.10.2015.
