Epic space rock. Dark, yet dreamy inspiration. First video:
About the new album:
Australia's Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy follow up their acclaimed album "Jupiter 13" with the epic "The Strange Life of Persephone Nimbus", a sprawling Pink Floyd-ish concept album that shimmers with darkly beautiful musical undercurrents, oblique lyrics and spooky spoken word pieces. It is the second chapter of an eventual trilogy.
The album was recorded in Tasmania overlooking the ocean, peaceful and crystal calm one day, dark and stormy the next, a dynamic that inevitably worked its way into the music and lyrics.
Martin and Steve find themselves working together on their sixth studio album. As ever with these two, the deal is simple: Martin writes the music and Steve writes the words. No argument, no egos, just a matter of pressing the record button. The results are an effective balancing of Kennedy’s haunting and melodic tunes with Kilbey's mysterious, witty and intelligent lyrics, melded together by his heavenly voice.
