Bauhaus in memoriam

Barcelona is dyed black. Landed the godfather of gothic music with new album under the wings.

Without doubt, is good news, the latest work by Peter Murphy has left us speechless. “Ninth“, his ninth solo album is a gem for fans of the Irish vampire. With songs like “I spit Roses”, simply exquisite, or “The Prince & Old Lady Shade”, which seems to move us to another golden age of Goth rock, Murphy returns us the illusion, because we thought he had retired after 7 years of drought since “Unshattered”.

Pouring his so characteristic bass voice, the album, the greatest representative of the after-punk, equals the mark of his work perhaps more representative “Deep”.

Though there is no need of presentations, Peter became the idol of “Andergraun” from his first appearances as a vocalist of the legendary band Bauhaus. With his first single “Bela Lugosi Is Dead” in 1979 in the middle of, the effervescence of new romantics and sinisters, the band shares popularity with bands such as Joy Division and The Cure. It was followed by two albums “In The Flat Field” and “Mask” that would consolidate his  path forever. Even David Bowie said once he liked the version of “Ziggy Stardust” by Bauhaus more than his own, but that’s another story.

It will be a dark night but rich in lyrical, melancholy and romanticism that will thrill us as in many others excellent interpretations which has left us in the room BIKINI
